I wish....

I wish my laundry machine e-mailed me when it was done....

I remember in '92, my sophomore year of college, I got FREE dialup service from the college (I lived off campus), and I thought that was the most awesome thing in the world.

Now your maytag could someday be a spam zombie....

Awww

Just got done with my freshman year in the dorms and I must say that the laundry thing is neat. Wish I could have had that. So many kids would leave their laundry sitting in the machines well after it was done simply because they forgot while they were chatting online.

Laundry?

Now if it could tell you who had the beer, and when the co-eds were horny, then they would have something.:)

SJSU

SJSU CampusVillage is the newest state of the art living facility in the california uc / state education system. WiFi access on each floor and across the entire campus. Cable TV and on-Demand Tv Shows/movies, Game service. I'm currently attending SJSU, I'll take pictures for everybody. This coupled with SJSU library (Martin Luther King Jr. Library) the largest on the west of the mississippi makes sjsu a great place to get an education.

 Not like when I went to college in the late 60s

We had a pay phone in the hall. A black & white 9" portable TV and a portable typewriter.

How did we ever cope w/o computers, cable TV, and cellphones?

Lots of beer drinking and sex.:D

"Lots of beer drinking and sex."

I graduated last year; things haven't changed that much. We just have computers....

I recently transferred from SJSU after 2 semesters. It was an awful experience with educators so lack in basic knowledge and common sense, it was shocking (I was in the MIS program). I even had the Dean of Business change my grade higher in one class after I fought a teacher on a final paper, and eventually won. The library and freshman dorms did squat for me. It's nice to have fast access, but all that it did for me was find another school faster online. The place was a nightmare.

What A Waste

And people wonder why the education in this country is doing so poorly.

They'll take tuition and invest in something like this, but not use it to invest in not constantly changing requirements for your major, getting good profs, or getting good programs.

Heh, I got free dial-up Internet connections in 1995. However, there were only three numbers/POPs for a small university!!

Re: What A Waste

No kidding it's a waste. I just got my first bill and it's so bloated with so many non-optional fees it's unbelievable. If they want something new and improved to tell the world about they just tack on another fee and they have no problems implementing it. I just wish I could pay to get an education and save a lot of money.
