My understanding is that (even though I don't agree with when and what class it is it's being implimented in) they want a class to teach you how to code in the Windows/Microsoft enviroment. ie: C#, Visual Studio .NET, etc. (Access is the weird part) Personally though I know what platform I like to code on, I don't think all CS students do, and some people are going to end up coding in VS in C#, etc. So to some degree I can see why it's important to have a class that exposes the students to this area of development. Of course considering what list this is, I'm guessing none of us want to actually develop on that platform, so it's a fairly pointless class from that standpoint. Of course, just FYI, mono is in the linux labs, and I think you can work with access dbs in mono. Just a thought. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
