And I'll never forget the time a friend (and fellow IBMer) of mine's
early teen daughter took a night course on computers (this was back in
the mid-late 80's). On the first night, the instructor held up a 5.25"
diskette and said "This is a floppy disk". The instructor then held up
a 3.5" diskette and said "This is a hard disk". The class was downhill
from there.


Such things are not uncommon Jerry. Some wannabe manages to secure a
post in local college (were qualifications are often not required to
teach) and last under a term. He may well end up leaving under a could,
probably with a letter to the Principal claiming some mal-practice on
the part of the college when, in fact, the wannabe was simply not up to
the job. He will forever claim to have teaching or lecturing experience.
