I remember she has this old 5.25" floppy containing a program she wrote (I think in Apple ][ BASIC) while on a computing inservice (she's a teacher.) They probably told her stuff like how computers were the future of schools and how the Apple ][ was powerful and expandable and very very cheap... ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit 68k Macintosh Liberation Army 00014 Macs liberated.

My, how technology has changed... yup, but the people never will! i'll share a couple of strategies that worked pretty well for me. I liked to have a good time when i was in school, so i figured the optimum tradeoff was to do the absolute minimum of work possible . . . to make dean's list. i figured that would keep the folks happy and might turn out to be a good thing just in case grades really did matter. the other side of that coin is: the reallysmart girls are LOTS more fun! good luck in college, ~coxy, jt Edited by - alcoa on 01 Mar 2002 05:32:47
