In order to take a BS in Biology, I had to have so many hours of Computer Science. But I was too intimidated by "THE ROOM". I said "pooh" on it and took a BA instead. Never turned a computer on until 1997. Leslie Leslie Hospital Employed Physician Who Misses The Old AC "It's a good thing for a doctor to have prematurely grey hair and itching piles.
