Heh. So, for one of my units, Technology in Education, you have to do an online multi-choice quiz. I didn't buy the textbook. I leave our classes early (since they're almost always just working on projects instead of content-based stuff), and did no study whatsoever.

92.5%.

I mean, seriously. We're talking about questions on this level:

Software that allows you to create word processed documents, letterheads, spreadsheets or party invitations is called:
a) GUI
b) DTP
c) URL
d) FAQ

I mean, I had 30 minutes to do it, and took 12 to do all 40 questions. I got three wrong. ANd I even kept Google and Wikipedia open in case I needed them..

I really want one of these rotating monitors. (Thanks to ExveeBrawn for the hookup). Why? Well, aside from wanting a nice big monitor (at least 19"), I'd find the vertical alignment useful for reading long pages. I do a lot of reading online of blogs, research papers, etc, and generally, most of what I read is set up to be read vertically anyway. Case in point, IRC. Most sentences aren't long enough to fill the entire window's width (although I admit I've had it set to a higher font size on this machine), and it's organised vertically.

The only REAL hindrance is the cost. Oy.
