I know what you mean, and I agree. It's just that kids now'a'days are so lazy (I would know, I'm 18). They're so used to everything being layed out for them. But that's the way the world is going. As time goes by machines are going to be doing more and more of the work that we used to do. Soon we won't even be bathing ourselves...we'll have machines that do that for us. :oP Whether it's good or not is not really for me to say... On one hand I think it gives me more time to focus on other things; like my dancing, my writing, or the films I'm working on. But that's just me :oP

My mother likes taking me shopping with her so I can let her know quickly what she'll pay when they list what percent off. It seems like most teachers now don't care if kids know the facts, as long as they have their calculators handy. I'm all for understanding the concept, but calculations in head are important too. I must be showing my age. >> -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
