This list is starting to get a little bit long, and I don't think we can expect this article to maintain a list of every single institution that's using the LC-3 or the Patt and Patel text; I also don't think it's reasonable to split the list into a separate article, as I heavily doubt anyone is going to come to Wikipedia looking specifically for a list of universities using the LC-3 as a teaching language. I'm going to monitor the list and may remove it entirely if it gets too unwieldy. Leave a note here if this seems like a big mistake. GJ 06:23, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The list managed to grow past 25 universities and was taking up a significant amount of space relative to the rest of the article. I've removed the list for now and made a note about the use of the LC-3 in teaching in the article lead. That statement will need a solid citation later, and for that we may be able to extract some of the larger ECE/CS departments from the original list as evidence, but until we reach that point I feel it's best to keep the article related to the architecture.

I agree that for most users this will probably be extraneous information. However, I think it is informative to know how popular the LC-3 for teaching. If there was a way to condense the information or lay it out in an easier to read way that may help greatly. --Owner42web 19:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the information about the toolset availability should be consolidated into one section. There are two major links of note here. The one to the McGraw Hill website for the official simulators, and the one for Ashley Wise's page. Perhaps it should also be noted that the simulator is available for multiple platforms including Windows, Mac, and Linux. --Owner42web 19:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As of today, there are a growing list of modern tools available for Students and courses. It seems that they should be listed & updated here. It is especially helpful to identify the ones that are cross platform (more than just Windows). Two that I know of that work on MACs are:

   University of Pennsylvania: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cdmurphy/cit593/resources/lc3guide.html
   William Chargain: http://wchargin.github.io/lc3web/

Both of these tools are very good and are much easier to use on MAC than anything I've found so far.
