--- Quote from: OSCAR on February 12, 2003, 06:40:08 pm ---May 2002 issue of CPU Magazine. Andy Warne gets a mention, too! (well, www.ultimarc.com does... :) ) I have a copy of the article here: www.oscarcontrols.com/tmp/cpu_may2002.jpg --- End quote --- First time I saw that article - pretty nice except for the very last 6 words ;) |

Man I hate that bibliography and required sources crap. There was an english thing where they made us write a 5 page paper with 8 unique cited sources per page, minimum :'( |

Yeah, well I had to write papers before we had this thing called "The Internet". I had to go to a Library, search thru little drawers of index cards to get a number, search thru the library for that number on a book, and hope when I found the shelf the book was in! Oh yeah, and the fun of looking up Newspaper articles in the microfiche lab, where you scrolled thru it at two speeds, super slow and blinding fast.....just so you could make a 10 cent copy of the 1 article you needed..... Sorry, stepping down from soapbox now....I don't mean to rant, but HOW EASY is it now with the Internet, everything is at your fingertips and you can search from your favorite chair at home! (Putting on my old man hat now) Kids have it so easy today..... ;D |

I was talking about getting resources from the Internet, such as looking up newspaper articles with Google, or using a search engine to find books, papers, etc. on your subject. That would have been awesome to have that at my disposal when I was writing papers.... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying your task is easy....just pointing out how things have changed. BTW, at the time we couldn't use Encyclopedias as a resource. My folks went out and spent a couple hundred dollars on this set that we couldn't use for school! (Although each article did cite it's resources, so a less than scrupulous person could use the article and then cite it's resources as his....I ONLY DID IT ONCE!) Sorry to bring this thread so off topic.....good luck with your paper. 8) --- End quote --- --- End quote --- |
