McInnis) Organization: GenRad, Inc., Concord, Mass. Lines: 14 Summary: Are you implying that passing courses is synonymous with tremendous self-discipline?? Or is it merely figuring out what to kiss and when? Quite frankly, most of the programming courses I've taken have given minimal instruction and then essentially tell you to go play. I've taken courses at five different universities on two coasts and haven't found consistent, well-coordinated courses at any of the institutions. Let's face it, hacking is a viable means of CS training. -- Linda M. McInnis USENET: genrad!teddy!lmm "I used to be disgusted, now I'm just amused."
