Hi,
I think more of Phoenix University. Or,?the huge market, now, in
colleges/universities who promise a BA/BS in one year if you have a community
college degree or two-years in a college.?The marketing for those schools,
espcially the for-profit ones,?is incredible. Not sure about the quality of the
education of those coming out, though I understand that they are trying a bit
harder with more quality control than they used to do.
?
Donal, we had the?same experience with a generic MP3 player. I cannot remember
what we did to fix it.? So, I don't think it is just the IPod.???I think my son
figured it out--but it took us a while and we were both frustrated--and wanted
to go purchase an IPod because surely IT would have been easier and we would be
able to listen the music once it was disconnected from the computer.? I think
it might be the useres <g> or the computer, as you mentioned.

Pop academia, based on heavy
marketing, without substance? The academic subject that comes to mind would
be "The Institute for Paris Hilton Studies".
