I don't know what those have to do with computer science and business (I have a degree in Management Information Systems), but they were my favorite courses. I was already interested in computers before I got there due to my dad bringing home a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Portable">Compaq &quot;luggable&quot; sewing-machine sized PC</a> in the early 1980's.   <p>And of course, my parents were two of my best teachers by teaching me to &quot;<em>get out and play</em>&quot; (my mom) and to &quot;<em>learn something new every day</em>&quot; (my dad). I of course took this to mean do things like go helicopter skiing, make computers work <u>for</u> me, travel the world, and move to London. I doubt they anticipated those activities, but I appreciate the teachings that got me where I am today. <p>Note: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Teachers'_Day">World Teacher's Day</a> is different from those regular <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teachers'_Day">Teacher's Days</a> that happen in different countries at different times of the year. At least according to Wikipedia... one day I hope we can plug our brains right into wikipedia so we don't have to bother teachers with mundane trivia and historical facts. <img alt="smile_regular" src="http://spaces.live.com/rte/emoticons/smile_regular.gif"><img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-9115616974989467705&page=RSS%3a+World+Teacher's+Day&referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""><img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;NA=1149&amp;PI=73329&amp;RF=&amp;DI=3919&amp;PS=85545&amp;TP=grothadventures.spaces.live.com&amp;GT1=grothadventures">http://grothadventures.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!817ED2A8693B5FC7!3146.entry#commenthttp://grothadventures.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!817ED2A8693B5FC7!3146.entryFri, 05 Oct 2007 07:30:15 GMT0blogentryblogentryBlog entryhttp://grothadventures.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!817ED2A8693B5FC7!3146/comments/feed.rsshttp://grothadventures.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!817ED2A8693B5FC7!3146.entry#comment2007-10-05T07:39:00Z
