Well I honestly don't remember (and don't feel like swapping it in, sorry). I tend to take charge of my own education and ignore what the guy up front or the students next to me are doing, unless it's interesting. That tends to work well, but has its drawbacks (falling asleep in class, missing quickly-mentioned important points, not learning enough DSP because I don't like image processing...) -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
