the street was...

That's the answer I came up with too, but I didn't use anything except my
brain to calculate it...

> Who needs education when you've got technologyu? =P

If that remark is intended to be taken seriously (hopefully not, going by
the smiley), you haven't been paying attention to the thread, have you?

(Also, if this is representative of the general mentality today, how bad

Oh wait, I went to school with people who had that problem...)
