Re: Education options

[Vance Stanley <w_vance_stanley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am glad El Centro is still at it and has some decent
hardware to train students on. At the time I went
there (1992) the CISC Model I used was acceptable. 

Its really a shame that IBM is not the ones giving
colleges a TECHNO lecture and also showing up with 
some free hardware or at least significantly
discounted to get them going. It would be a cheap
investment for them I would think.
