All these "philosophy doctors" (weird). And I agree 100%! I am a dissertation away from a Ph.D. with no plans of finishing. I was a developer for 20+ years.

Probing interviews and meaningful references clinch the deal. -- Best regards, Chuck _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
