Abstract	Until recently, many of us in university computer centers had little to do with microcomputers on campus except to complain about them. But now that a few schools have announced with much public fanfare that all freshmen will buy, lease, or be given micros, and will be expected to use them, we are hearing our own universities begin to talk about “catching up in computers”. And many of us suspect that when university administrators think about computers, they usually think about the Computer Center. A computer is a computer, right? Thus we can expect that the services we are expected to provide will expand to include some type of consulting about microcomputers. For many years, the complaint we had about micros was that we had no “control”. Micros of numerous types were appearing, and only we computer professionals worried much about the problems of maintenance, compatibility, and appropriateness. Our attitude became, “You didn't consult me before you bought that thing, so don't expect to consult me now”. But we recognize that the time is fast approaching, if not here already, when that excuse will no longer work to keep us out of the micro business. At many computer centers, our concern is now with these two problems: (1) how can we expand our range of services without any increase in staff or facilities, and (2) how can we provide professional consulting assistance for equipment and software of which we have no real knowledge and which we probably have not even seen.
