JC, but my time in college taught me almost nothing that I needed in actual real life, including the "technical" stuff that I involve myself in now. Experience and self-education was the only useful factor here. A lot of people say that, but don't believe it. If you end up at a very narrow job, maybe I could believe it. But over time, you will be amazed at how much of the stuff from school you do end up using. I totally flunked out of my entire first year of college ... got a 1.10 the first semester and a 1.82 Well, if that's the case, I take it back <g> Joe

You lucky freak ... I totally flunked out of my entire first year of college ... got a 1.10 the first semester and a 1.82 (I think) the second semester. No partying or anything. I must be really stupid or something, can't possibly be any other reason. It's a wonder that I can operate my website! JC, Try this one, I was on pro and dean's list, alternating semesters, two years in a row. In addition my uncle was friends with one of the Deans on campus. I brought a whole new meaning to the word party animal. I also made my Uncle a very p*ssed man. BTW I knew you weren't very smart because of all those strange words you make up. LOL PS: I did end up graduating with a passing grade after five or seven years, but my time in college taught me almost nothing that I needed in actual real life, including the "technical" stuff that I involve myself in now. Experience and self-education was the only useful factor here. When your website begins to rival Amazon's, you can put in your bio that you were a self-made man in the great American tradition. <g> ted
