Oh, it was for Business class. Pretty boring if you ask me.
The class was a snorefest. I pretty much played (Or attempted to, at least) games the whole class, since I was done with my work in a matter of minutes.

Exactly. It was piss easy and the work was meaningless. I felt as though I learned nothing about real business. Real business is dirty and stuff. I'd love to learn the dishonest tricks of the trade in real advertising, like how walmart uses the cheap items to draw people in to the expensive ones.

i learned some easy shit and the one of the assignments was virtually living for a whole year. meaning getting a job, renting a a place, buying groceries and shit. IT WAS EASY. and it had NOTHING to do with business.

most of it pre existed before the web, Like before 1994 when the Web was generealy first Public, Every computer nerd Dialed BBS's in their local town and would talk on the systems like an IM and so yeah Plus because people who knew how to do all that stuff were usualy extra smart and Nerdy Knew all 255 ANSI Carecter codes so we could type Carecters on the screen that do not have buttons on your keyboard... like hearts and stuff

lol bill gates wrecked all that because now if you try to manualy type out an ansi code by holding CRT and entering a # from the number pad of 1-255 it either closes your window or nothing happends because in win 95 it was a way of Machine code for hacking and stuff in other computers connected to a or your network.

exactly... thats one of the many ways Machine code Ansi codes were put to the side.. they gave controll and alts other functions then their type prompt conter parts.. so Windows Overides all the old school stuff unless you go back and load into a prompt..

Yeah. I haven't looked into that at all. I know some basic mdos commands and such, but nothing special.
