I signed up for 2500 accounts. They do not offer anything for importing users accounts. I can't see new students coming in each semester and having to manually create each account.
Killer Instinct had an episode with the same idea. Gamer built mods that put things into the game that the developers didn't think about then when they got banned from playing the game, one of them started playing it in real life.
Gotta love how they can all come up with unique ideas for their shows.
I was stationed in Sigonella, Sicily and Rota, Spain. Both of those bases are clearly displayed on Google Earth. I worked in a classified area and that is shown on the maps. Even if the images are two or three years old, it is not like we move the buildings.
I like what google has done but did have that same thought the first time I looked up the bases.
Side note: If you look up Rota, Spain and then find the runway then move to the right, someone cut a large peace symbol into the grass.
I can't stand the addressbar in IE7. You can't adjust the size and the refresh/stop/go button are on the right of the screen miles away from the back forward buttons. I have had to replace two mice so far because of this new design. Can't wait for Office 12 to come along so the users will have to relearn everything again.......thanks uncle bill
Way back in 98, we were evaluating platforms for online learning. WebCt was still fairly small and Murray was the presenter to demo the product to us. Anyway, there were about 20 schools looking and we all met at a cabin to eat & drink. We invited Murray along and he came over, drank several beers with us and talked about how WebCt was started. As I remember it, he developed it for his classes to use then got a grant to develop it for the whole university (Canada somewhere). That lead to other universities using it and they spun WebCt of into a standalone corporation. Back then support was outstanding but as things grow and money gets involved, people figure out that having a tech answer the phone probably is not a good use of his/her time. Fast forward a few years and buy outs later, we dropped WebCt and developed our own in-house and have not looked back since then. At times I wish we still had a commercially supported product so I would not have to be the ass that says no to a feature request but announcements like this make me glad we developed our own. Wish everyone that uses WebCt or Blackboard well.

I was one of the lucky ones and actually owned a 1000,1500, and then a 2068. I had an uncle that worked for Timex.
Those were the days....
