a WEEK and a HALF!!!!!!! mine is 18 hours [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] but anyway, back to the topic, people today are so focused on being 'COOL' that they don't thimk about anything else, here in NZ we have a ratio of teachers:students at 1:43 (or something like that) and at least 60% of those are over 55 years old....which shows no-body wants to do something that makes you think at a level above staring blindly at a screen! Some people, especially 9-10 year old boys (no offence) can be very unforgiving. One when I was 8 and at that point I was reading Stephen King books I had this book that was 1000+ pages (cant remember the name, the hounds of something or other) and I was waylaid on the way home (i walk), I had my bag taken and thrown over a fence and I was beaten up simply for being "a geek". To repeat something that has cropped up a lot, most people are scared of what they don't understand and because of that I was pushed around and people who touched my would yell out something about having "Seanne germs" (yes thats my real name but don't tell *shhhhhh*) these people are the same ones that call me a freak for liking Tolkien and then when the movies came out called me a "blender".
