Raiford writes "Students can now take fully guided field trips in a VR environment. An article in the newsroom section of the IEEE website describes a trip to an historic Virtual Harlem setting in the 1920s and 30s. The article gives a description of the VR technology and programming and states that the simulation is supported for both Silicon Graphics and Linux platforms"

    My Led Zeppelin CD's raped all my Journey CD's! What should I do?

    Get some Michael Jackson CDs instead. As long as you don't have any boy band CDs, you won't have any more problems like that.
