If you're one of those people who are at ease with CMS and comfortable with its idiosyncrasies and who have no envy of your neighbor's PC, there's no easy way to tell you.
Nothing lasts forever.
With computers, nothing even comes close. CMS has been a good friend to UIC for quite some time, extremely useful to many thousands of people. But high maintenance costs, plus the rise in the use of graphical interfaces, network computing, and personal computer software packages, forces us to make choices. In order to preserve a high level of support for the UIC community as a whole, we need to focus our efforts on desktop machines, UNIX servers, instructional technology, and the ADN network. These are all areas where CMS is not the machine of choice.
