This is probably a bad idea... You mean the age? That's not a problem. This school actually educates Austria's software engineering elite. The students who manage to do all 5 years are usually very innovative. The most interesting project of the last few year was e.g. an operating system (search for SkyOS on google). This year's projects was an organization tool for a LAN party already tested in the real world (500 players, the site has more than 100000 hits and they already start licensing the software to other LAN parties) Regards, Andreas Krennmair -- MakeHacker: . @echo "Just another make hacker."
