on second thought, we may have to go higher up in the food chain. maybe the people responsible for plotting curriculums. and how far down into the roots should we go on this? highschool? maybe even elementary? incidentally, i think there's going to be a conference of highschool operators (or whatever you call them) real soon. it may be a good venue to explain the idea to the people who actually make the decisions. ofcourse their decisions are constrained by the dictates of the decs, which is rumored to mandate a microsoft-centered curriculum real soon because of the government's arrangements with bill g. just some more thoughts, -eric -- �.--. �Enrique D.
