Precisely. It's almost impossible to flunk out... once you get in. Getting in is the tough part for most people. Lisa teaches at Harvard Medical School and she sees this effect all the time. The trouble is that as standards go down everywhere, even the quality of the ones who get in is declining (she comments on this, too). -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
