With belated thanks to a reader who comments via e-mail:

“It is good to see many educational institutions are beginning to grasp the internet’s value. I recently found out that one Seminary (Reformed Theological Seminary) is offering course lectures on ITunes.

“Just as the traditional bookstores have never caught up with Amazon because of their reluctance to do things differently I wonder if the same thing could happen with education.

“With retirement less than a month away, I have been wondering what I am going to do to keep from drifting aimlessly about. Now if I can figure out how to strap my desktop and monitor to my bicycle I may be able to learn a few things.”

Thanks for reading, and best wishes on your retirement and continuing education!
