There is definitely an influence. "Determine" is probably too strong

bought Tektroniks oscilloscopes. That's what we had in our labs in
college, they were good, and I knew that. I *didn't* know that about
the competitors (they may have been fine, I just had no experience).

Dan, if Tektroniks oscilloscopes were rarely, if ever, used in the corporate
world, do you think your college would have been using them, or is it more
likely they would they have used another of the brands that *was* in common
use?
