    actually, apparently it's the 3rd gen..from the header-not the review

    howabout some of the sales specs included in the review,
    # of lines on the LCD display etc...

  10. why is it so many 'private' universities on Marquette Dental Student Suspended For Blogging · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I know I've read in the past that "private" universitys often have to participate in govermental requirements because they accept so much money from government development programs.. or they lose a lot of funding. So much so that almost every univ (except maybe oral roberts U) must knucle under.. why wouldn't this apply for individuals at a private/public establishment as well?

    insiders, 5%'s and institutions- none of those categories have any interest but in keeping the status quo..
