Hello everyone, I have been totally swamped with mail lately. There was no way for me to read it all so I started deleting all the messages that had subjects that didn't look very interesting to me. While I was doing this I noticed a message with a subject of "HELP!!" or something like that. I thought it strage that there were no replies to it just before I deleted it as well. Later I had the disturbing thought that possibly that particular message was sent directly to me via private email. If this is so and the sender is on this list please resend the message and I'm sorry for my incompetence. OK, now for my cool story. Yesterday, my college had certification exams to see how well the teachers are teaching us. The CIT department test was 5 pages long. The first page was very basic stuff like general computer vocabulary and the like. The second page asked for an algorithm to solve a particular problem. I did a flo-chart which did this. The third page asked us to actually write the code that would accomplish a certain part of that algorith in a laguage of our choice. I of course chose Euphoria and had a great time. At the very bottom of the page I wrote "Language: Euphoria". The last 2 pages did not apply to me because I had not taken the corresponding classes and I did not get graded for that part. To incourage students to do their best, the college had an awards ceremony today. I got 1st place for a first year CIT student. WOOHOO! Granted only about 2 classes represented each department but I thought it was pretty cool anyway. I wonder what they thought when they saw "Euphoria" on my test. It apparently didn't have a negative effect and about 1/3 of my grade was based on that Euphoria code. Well, I thought I'd share that with y'all later, Lewis Townsend Keroltarr at hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
