Lots of universities are offering classes on line now. They don't cost any less than if you were to sit in a chair in one of their classrooms, but it sure is a lot easier for those of us who live too far away to take classes otherwise. I'll still need to go down to Tucson and physically take two classes there to fulfill their rule of 6 credit hours on campus in order to graduate. But they do occasionally offer a week or 10 day cram course where you're literally there all day and get the work in later. *Sigh* What a way to use vacation time. But at least it'll get done. I'm 43 years old and still in school...thought I'd be done by now.
Oh, well. Life seldom goes according to plan. 
Anyway, it's good to see you again. Now maybe this forum will liven up a little!
