I know this is supposed to be for C++, but the use of computers and
information is much more than just a language. I think that is why Van
had us do emailing, and newsgroup postings. There is a great big world
out there, and the more we learn now, the better prepared we will be for
"the real world."

About Trolls:  A Troll is someone who posts on a newsgroup with the
intent of making people upset. Sometimes a post may seem to be trollish,
but that may be because of misinterpetation. A true Troll INTENDS to be
inflammatory and rude.

BTW, good move setting the subject line as OFF TOPIC. Now people can
ignore it if they don't want to read non-class postings.  :)
