As usual. Even when it is not my problem or question, there is
always something of value to learn here.
I thought of adding the received value of 1 week in a college
computer technology course (pro rata) to offset the cost. But, it has
been so long that I don't even know how they charge for courses these
days. It used to be $25 per semester credit hour. It must have gone
up somewhat.
One spring we has a tuition "riot" because $900/semester tuition was
"too damn much".
Thanks to everybody for this help and to the list in general for
perpetuating the spirit of sharing and helping.
