Nope, Vestal Central Schools, upstate New York (Binghamton area), with a link 
to a system in RedHook.  Just over the hill from my home was the first 360/370 
at SUNY Binghamton.  I believe the 360/370 series was partially manufactured at 
Binghamton.  My dad, a lighting engineer with GE, worked on the design of the 
photo-etch line for it.

Binghamton was quite the place in those days.  We had a major IBM presence, 
Singer/Link made things that dads couldn't discuss at the dinner table, and so 
did GE. Ansco/GAF was involved with some of the optics work that Singer and GE 
weren't discussing too.

Now I understand that the tech industry has all left town, and I imagine the 
Endicott-Johnson shoe companies moved overseas long ago.  Binghamton's 
supposedly been over-run with Crips and Bloods from L.A. and is not a pleasant 
place to be these days.

Sorry, we old fogies now return you to the land of free software and 3D gaming.
