Hi Marv: Rick here. I do not attack people nor have I attacked you, not on this list and not on any other lists. It hurt my feelings that you would say that about me. For those on this list: Marv has a 10 th grade education. He is attempting to take a University Level Programming class. He does not possess the requisit background of High School English, Math nor Science to be able to Analyze a Project and turn it into logical steps for creating calculations. I helped him, in great detail, with 4 projects before having to give up. I told him he needed to sign up for a few courses in English perhaps composition, Grammer and Technical Writing. He needs a couple of classes in Algebra and concentrate on story problems and a course in Chemistry and Physics would help with learning story problems. I also told him he might take Introduction to Computer Science to help in learning Analysis and Introduction to Business if he is planning on a career in developing Business Applications.I told him I would no longer help him as I was doing the analysis and developing all his calculations or he could not complete any project in the University Course he is involved in. It is up to Marv to do his own homework but he has managed to get me and others to do it for him for some time now. Like I mentioned, seeing Marv say I attacked him here or anywhere else is false, a lie to say it flat out so Marv can understand. Sorry, for the rant but I feel hurt and angry, I spent the last 2 months helping him, 2 to 3 hours each day, sigh. I just don't know what else to say.

Hi. well said. i do not attack other members on public mailling lists. so Rick should not do the same or any other member.maybe you should take it up with the moderators, and maybe a file list rulesor etticate message, reminding members of this. okay, so maybe i am struggling, and maybe i do not understand, but trying, some examples, are straight forward, but others, having problems trying to understand, and trying to learn. people, do not understand, i am on my own, doing this externally, as my nearest campus is over 1000 kph, away, in adelaide, australia and moved to Tasmania with my parents. so, you can see, do not really have the support. did e-mail my lecturer, and he really cannot help, as he is teachingmultiple students, multiple subjects like vb, c#, c++, java, multimedia andflash and asp. and at multiple campuses in Adelaide, australia. so, sorry about this, if do not seem to understand. cheers Marvin.----- Original Message ----- From: "E.J.

However, I do notbelieve that a public mailing list is the place to make statements like theones below. I believe that individuals who are making an attempt to learn should be applauded, even more so the greater their struggle. I have a friend who tried 5 times to get his bus drivers lisence before he was finallysuccessful. I thought it was silly at the time, but now he drives all overCanada and the US and enjoys what he is doing a great deal.

I explainedeverything to you, gave you examples and did this over and over but you could not pick up on the fundementals. Your educational level, 10 th grade, is wholly inadiquit for the level of coursework you are involved in. You need at least a High School Education, 4 years of prep work in English, Math and Science before tackling a University level course like this. I worked off-list with you several hours each day but your lack of comprehension skills and math skills showed me you are not capable of doing work at this level without someone else virtually doing it for you. So, if you can talk others into doing your work, good. That is a skill in and of itself of sorts. However, it is not doing you any favors as yourlack of basic skills will eventually drown you and you will either have tostart all over again or end up giving up completely.

Video Bonanza Design and code a project to calculate the amount due and provide a summary of rentals. All movies rent for $1.80 and all customers receive a 10 percent dis- count. The form should contain input for the member number and the number of movies rented. Inside a group box, display the rental amount, the 10 percent discount, and the amount due. Inside a second group box, display the number of customers served and the total rental income (after discount). Include buttons for Calculate, Clear, and Exit. The Clear button clears the information for the current rental but does not clear the summary information. Do not allow bad input data to cancel the program; in- stead display a message to the user.
