Reminds me of my computer inpact in society class my last year of college. The class: how to use word, excel, and powerpoint. Here is how you add a border... here is how are you sum cells... I became almost like a teachers assistant. I finished my work and the following week's work in 15 minutes then helped others for the following 2 hours.
I thought the class would be about how computers and technology play a role in today's society. Guess I was wrong. But that A helped my GPA ;^) At 08:18 PM 1/6/2003 -0500, you wrote: >Well, I just got back from my first day of going back to school to finish up >my B.S. in comp sci.
