This should actually be a quote in the next Popular Science magazine its
so true.  Its happened before where I got to a point asking myself about
someone once how they could have been a professor ... you learn more
from spending $200 on books @ Amazon then you do for $50,000 on school
to have someone teach you about something thats so outdated.  I also
think this type of thing has alot to do with the downfall of the
economy.
