I got my MS degree from the Universtiy of Phoenix. UOP also has a BS
program in CIS. This degree may not be what most of you are looking for
since it's more of a management degree - management over CIS employees.
I liked attending UOP because:

Some of my groups have that option, but this PLUG isn't one of them. Maybe a

I'm sure you are right. I'm more of a casual Mac user. I have not got into

High school Electronics class.
The "proper" method of disposing of a TV or monitor is to take off the

Hi all,
I thought I'd throw out a quick LinkedIn update. They changed the rules for
group visibility. Previously only members of the LinkedIn group could see the
group icon on others' profiles. You had to pay something like $9000 to change
that. Well, that is no longer the case. It is now free. An

Just because it is written down does not mean it was written down by a bunch
of die hards with baggage. The hole reason for splitting your programs
between /usr and /var is so you can mount /usr read only for security. And
it could be argued that this was done to make up for the lack of security
I heard that DI won't take items like monitors anymore. Is that true?
Not sure, but perhaps… they have stopped taking appliances.

have no idea if that counts as environmentally friendly), does it work?
If it still works maybe you can sell it for $5 to MAS computers or give
it to D
I've got an old monitor and I'm tempted to toss it into my trash can.
But being a conscientious person, I know this is not environmentally sound.
(Or is this ok?)
So how do I properly dispose of it? Where should I take it?
Are there fees?
Thanks
