MBA days are strange days. Our classes are divided into long blocks, held in rooms with no windows, at all times of day, and this causes time to become 100% abstract. Honestly, it takes a long look at the clock to figure out when it is. My uncle Mark told us one time about waking up in a hotel room and needing to check the phonebook to figure out where he was...same principle here. Apparently this is good practice.
The resources are outstanding, though. At some point last year I aborted an installation of Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2, and recently with my increased use of wireless internet I decided I'd like SP2 on my trusty computer. It seemed easy enough, but I couldn't figure it out in 10 minutes so I just dropped it off at the Laptop Support deck and came back in 150 minutes. BAM! Done. So far it seems worth the update, too.
