That's right.  But because several students complained about the lab
rules, which prohibited bringing any food or drink into the computer area,
and the UW doubled my rent to boot, we don't hold classes there anymore.

(Morals: (1) Rules meant for students don't sit well with experienced
computer professionals who can usually keep their beverages out of the
keyboard;  (2) Double your prices and you'll lose your customers!).

Spugster "largest at largest.org" is the current leader of this program, so
