One of the nicer things about Mudd is that you are introduced to many sciences, so that you get a well-rounded education. Sure, if you're a CS major you'll leave knowing more about computers than you ever thought there was to know, but you'll also have a solid grounding in chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, and math (although, of course, math and CS tend to overlap a little). It's hard, you'll wonder what sleep is by the time you're done, but it's definately worth a try if you want to push the limits of your brain and your computer science skills. I know I made the right choice...
Oh geez...this is starting to sound more and more like the movie Gattaca, where they have 'testing' centers where people take DNA samples to be sequenced...

I believe it was also Orwell who wrote Animal Farm. You're right, though -- it IS an excellent, thought-provoking read!!

Woohoo!! I checked out the site, and did a search for "Microsoft trial" on their main page...guess what got spit back at me?

Looks like even their programs don't remember M$ doing anything wrong
