The Computer Center Corporation, a timesharing startup founded in the late 1960s by UW faculty and staff (including Computer Science & Engineering professor David Dekker and graduate student Dick Hamlet), made PDP-10 time available to Lakeside students by means of a teletype terminal.
Gates and Allen also utilized four computers on the UW campus -- an SDS Sigma 5 operated by Computer Science & Engineering, a DEC PDP-10 operated by the Medical School, and a Burroughs B5500 and a Control Data 6400 operated by the Academic Computer Center (now Computing & Communications).
During the 1980s, the University of Washington employed an exceedingly apt slogan in radio spots: "UW: You get something, whether you go there or not." Indeed! Research universities contribute to their regions in many ways -- some explicit, and some serendipitous.
The recent commitments of Allen, Gates, Microsoft Corporation, and dozens of other individuals and organizations to the UW Department of Computer Science & Engineering ensure that UW CSE will continue to lead and to serve long into the future.
