Some of the teachers would let you take the tests. I always did the exams

for the computer classes to find out how well I was doing. Turned out good!

High grade, would have had 100% if I could have been able to us Endora. They

woild not allow me to use it because I was not a regular paying student.

CPR class I only missed 2 out of about 100 questions. That was after I had a

head injury in an accident (hit by an Ohio Bell truck!). I guess got a high

because I studied well. Some just passed by the skin of their teeth! I had

to do the test to get my Red Cross CPR card. I do not even know if that

class is available at the University anymore. I should take a refresher

course because things have changed since then.

With all that is going on in these times in schools, my Philosophy teacher

said that he has to be very careful of what he does or says for fear that

it will be taken the wrong way. He loves his job. He has always been a

gentleman. He is 62 now. He has been teaching for a long time and still

active and sharp. I am older than he is.

I think you still have to do the ACT tests to enter the University. Not sure

what they are called now. I will inquire the first chance I get if they are

required. I know that some classes are reserved for students that need the

classes for graduation credits. Some are for graduate students only. One of

the classes that I am taking now is a Graduate Seminar which is meant for

graduate students. The professor invited me to sit in on it and study in it.

This class is: "Virtue Ethics".

Well, at this point I don't know if you would have to go through all of

that. (Besides which, maybe you still have your old SAT or ACT scores from

many moons ago, if you took them, then). But even if you didn't, it might

be worth looking into this a bit more - IF you are really interested in

getting into some of those classes. I would think at your age and with

your background, there might be some differences in exactly what is and

isn't required - especially since you wouldn't be pursuing a degree, per se.

I would think they could make some allowance for that, assuming there was

enough room in the classes (meaning, the classes still had seats available).

Re: open letter to W98 users

Hi Rick,

I talked to George just a couple of days before he headed out last year. I

have *all* of his e-mail addresses. Is he still able to respond to them,

because if so , I'd like to drop him a note. I met George before he got his

MVP status. We began e-mailing to each other, and he has helped me

immensely. I will always consider him my mentor.

Please let me know if there are any "special" ways of contacting him.

And don't forget

A few months ago he spoke of being fully retired now and that he was doing

well, that his wife is trying her hardest to keep him busy and active. He

mentioned he just hasn't made it back to the MS groups yet and also

commented he spends little time on the internet at all. He said most of his

computer time in fact is taken up with software development and on his

latest project I'd already mentioned in my other post.

Some of his older various addresses don't work anymore you'll see.

Our last back/forth was using his mvps.org one, and so use that one.

Re: open letter to W98 users

I know Rick...I wanted to see Proboards take off,and he gave me full

privileges, but I Alone certainly don't have the technical expertise to

entirely run the show. I believe Brian A. (now MVP) has same privileges.

I used to use the proboards URL in my sig, but we start getting hundreds of

MB I would guess of spammers there, many of them foreign. Funny thing was,

I only had to lock a couple of the categories down.

I've got the address you spoke of (hoping *that's* still right), and will

try to get a hold of him. If no luck, I'll let you know--perhaps we can

work something out.

Thank you Rick

Re: open letter to W98 users

Using the geog@ won't get through. That's now a spam trap. But bindar

should be OK. Just checked it. Also have a couple of new ones. Like Rick

said. I don't spend much time on the net at all now and further to the last

time I was in touch I hardly write any code now either. As soon as I

remember how to get into the old forum as admin. I'll be closing it. There

is a totally new site (all CSS based) getting ready to put on line and it

includes a new forum and blog all themed the same.

Yep, I'm still alive but I'm sure that like everyone else it's only a

temporary situation.

I have new systems now and as soon as I recover all of my address books from

CD I'll start getting in touch again. Although a couple of old "friends"

that I did reply to came back with snarly responses.
