AOL takes the disks with a smile. Slaps a new postmark on it... RECYLED!
I agree with the ending comment on the story. "seems like a better taste would be to dial out and use all 1000 free hours. A million people do *that* and I bet they'd stop filling our mailboxes with the landfill of tomorrow."
uh... Many manufactures have built cars beyond US emissions and had to "tone down" the performance. A simple ECU EPROM chip or different ECU code will remove the cap from these limits.
During high school (junior and senior year) I attended tech class at a local trade school for three hours out of my day. I think this was a real big push in the right direction for me. I learned almost everything about PC hardware and troubleshooting. During this time, I started building my work related experience in the field.
Straight out of high school (age 18) I attended Devry in the TCOM program for three trimesters. Testing out of every possible tech. related class they would let me, and taking nothing but general education. I got bored very quick. Dropped out with a huge dept of loans. Parents still wanting me to continue my education I enrolled in a junior college to take general education once again, only attending one semester this time. At this time I started my own business with two other partners that I still own today.
After a year of running my own business I was able to move out on my own and prep a very nice resume. I put my resume up for grabs for recruiters. Today (age 22) I have a full time job making more than my parents combined as a *nix Admin. I'm pretty satisfied on my success. Not bad for only three years out of high school. Plus if I went to college, I wouldn't graduate for another whole year. ACK!
I don't really want to suggest a path for anyone to take. However, 99.999% of the time personal/work experience plus a good resume will be just as good as a piece of paper from college for getting your foot in the door (Certs. are a BIG bonus). The rest is up to you on convincing them you are perfect for the position.

Can't see it happening though...

I don't think the M3 is the first in this game.
Too bad there isn't an Aqua X manager for x86, that I know of. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I actually have grown to like it. So simple to maintain. And is actually not that bad looking.
