Rutgers is the State University of NJ.  So embarassing is this fact that
the school hides this in the guise of calling itself Rutgers.

...and so, this moron posts the question to comp.os.vms and myriad other
unrelated usenet forums.

Agreed.  How about an associate degree in something really challenging!
Try Physical Education.

Those who can do!  Those who can't type.  Those who can't type take gym.

There's an idea!  How about a collective response!  Everybody that read
this student's request and/or answered should send a bill to the Rutgers
Univerity Comptrollers Office for tutorial expenses.

I think this guy should go hang out until Friday at one of the watering
holes on Easton Ave. and drink, until he pukes, to his future success in
the real world.  Ron is destined to start up a mom-and-pop software shop
and steal the efforts of others as his own and then, sue the originator
for ownership!  A great future for Ron or, at a minimum, his law(lie)yer.

Scott's a youngsta here in comp.os.vms but at least he's forthcoming and
can do his own work honestly.

:)  Carl must have been hitting the Valium and Prozac rather heavily at
that time!

Ron should drop out, walk across the street from Marita's Cantina and
start a shoe-shine stand at the train station.
