WOW An MIT education for free (well money wise at least). Interesting
site, and a place I should visit often- but maybe a bit beyond my
comprehension these days. I missed the Navy Reserve Officers Training 4
year scholorship by one lousy point (should have taken the test in Oklahoma,
instead of Texas -- the cutoff there was 3 points lower), and that is where
I had intended to use it. Oh Well !
