However, I don't understand your comment about the "butcher dance"??? Sorry, it was an ol' CS joke (rather long take off on the Hokey Pokey). Actually we've tried to invest in technology for several decades see _http://www.cbhp.ua.edu/_ (http://www.cbhp.ua.edu/) , when the Romance Language noticed enrollment and minors were dropping they sent out ambassadors to the grade schools, think we got Spanish and a flamenco guitar. Or engineering noticed enrollment was dropping off they started sponsoring JETs clubs with varying degrees of success. Kids are bright! If you followed the Paris' Hilton hacker story, really bright. 16 year old might end up as FBI employee... What I see from IBM is lip service and a nod towards status quo. Little investment in learning or teaching or technological infrastructure that can sustain the platform(s). I went to have my toofies cleaned and dentist had upgraded office to LCDs and Touchpads running off XP something. I was impressed. It's OK I'll settle back down in a few days, glad to see somebody else perceives the problem..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
