But concentrate was the wrong word; he was part of the system that he considered. There was no other world for him in this moment. The rain fell against the window next to him and the carriag

Typical college story.

Chapter1 He sat in the seminar and looked at his essay. He knew he was doing badly. He'd received bad marks for most of the assignments he'd handed in, and they were getting worse. Every week he had had to submit a short essay on the period of history being dealt with in the lectures. To start with, the teacher of the seminar had written long notes in red ink across his work.

it's a bummer being forced to use a format which the rest of the world can only read if they send lots of money to microsoft a college has no business forcing students to use any particular software. it should instead require standardized formats (like txt, html, odt, ...). where's stallman when you need him?

if i remember correctly, the problem is that apple doesn't release details for the connection between the bsd operating system and the aqua user interface, with the result that it's not as easy as i could be to write software for it, so basically, they're shooting themselves in the foot a bit there (of course, it still is a lot easier to write (or port) software for os x than it is to write software to do certain things in windows) celeron processors (or intel in general) is worth looking into, because intel is quite open to the linux community, which is the future of computing.

ho-ho-ho hee-hee-hee

as a geek i should really jump in here and say that sci-fi has nothing to do with magic. howie

i think i'd be quite lonely, if i were you. i wonder how long you'll be happy with the situation. do you know any other glb people irl? howie

poor rknapp, that doesn't sound happy i hope you get out of this situation soon. are you out to anybody irl? howie

you're grounded? what did you do? i hope it was something you're thoroughly ashamed of
