Just so you know�
There was a great deal on 17? Flat Panel monitors last night. My friend who is also my boss discovered and quickly ordered a 17? Samsung LCD monitor last night from CompUSA for only $200. Yeah, pick your jaw up off your desk. It was listed as out of stock on their website, but he called their 800 number and they said they had a couple left. So he ordered right away. Most other websites have been listing these models with the built in TV tuners at over $600. We looked again today and the listing is nowhere to be found.
In an unrelated story� the campus lost power for a little bit around 5:00 this morning and so my alarm clock was reset. Therefore, I missed my first class of the day. I should go and talk to the professor about this; hopefully he�s understanding about it.
If you are a college student you probably know about the viruses that have been running rampant lately and have probably had to put up with some jerk from the IT department at your college who comes in to mess with your computer because you might have a virus. Well, I get to be that jerk. Our campus, along with many others has been forced to shut off internet connections for many people and now we are going through each dorm and checking every 2k or XP computer for the virus and patching those that are vulnerable. Not exactly fun for anyone. I could have more to say about the inherent disorganization that is prevalent in a cuniversity, yet I don�t feel like discussing it any further. The entire endeavor of strengthening security seems ultimately futile because of the students like me who are too clever for their own good. Far too many of these technologically clever students despise authority and the rules that make the entire system work, instead of working with the Powers That Be. Remember kids, if you can�t beat them, join them.
