Mr. Greenspun, having started on something as non-traditional as your school, I'm sure you have some thoughts on problems with the traditional forms of post-high-school education. Although I'm sure a lot of us are familiar with them (professors interested more in research than teaching, high student-to-equipment ratio, general network crowding and misuse, etc.) do you think these are capable of being remedied or will all education go the way of "learn-at-home" Internet-based means? Thanks for your thoughts.
Yep, hear ya there - 23. That thing had like four colors if I remember correctly: red caves and wumpus, black bats, blue warning spots or something like that, and white everywhere else. Course I only saw that once since mine only had a B&W TV and I only got to hook it up to the color once. But a good game and a good little machine. That was probably the best game I had for it.
