"When I was a kid, I had to walk three miles each
way to school. The snow drifts were seven feet
high, and I had no shoes." "Gee, Granddad,
that's nothing. Today I had to go to Paris for
my French class, MIT for computer science and the
New York Stock Exchange for economics" Welcome
to the world of distance learning. - Paul
Butera, Ameritech Magazine
