Nye has a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering. Palin has degree in communications with an emphasis on journalism. Somehow, engineering seems to be more scientific than journalism. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
