 Because, very soon, there won't be MUGSI and SOLAR...oh yeah, we're getting whole new systems. Look out for that in the coming months!

 I didn't build this, though I'm trying to find who did. I really like the design.

Nice looking site, but lazy mobile redirection on Opera. Should at least have a link to the full version:

 McMaster Already invested $30 Million into a new IT Infrastructure with the Student Registration System aka MUGSI as the first priority back in March 2010. The project is almost halfway there and a new MUGSI is expected to roll out at the very best for Summer 2012 or definitely by Summer 2013. This project is top of the line priority for all McMaster Departments since it fundamentally affects the way they operate their day to day business in the near future, hence assuredly it is going ahead as quickly as possible without undermining the due process, proper change management and needs assessments that need to be conducted for the interactions of each and every employee at McMaster with the existing system. 
 
These projects(Enterprise Resource Planning) almost universally take a fair amount of time due to their complexity.

 Yup. Their email client is surprisingly nice, and it's no slouch at speeds or syncing between devices. The mobile version on Android is only second to the iPhone 5 browser in terms of standards compliance, and it's a lot faster than the stock browser on my Nexus S.
