I used to teach computer classes in the university during the vacations and while I may concede that computers are not _everyone's_ cup of tea, some of the things that the cream of our nation's education crop did in my classes were not all that confidence-inspiring.

The Rohan Chronicles: So You Wanna Be a Mac Instructor, Ah?

Many moons ago, my friends and I supported ourselves through university by conducting computer lessons during the long holidays.

OK, if you really want to be accurate, we used the money to finance our growing Coke addiction (Coca-Cola, that is) and to pay for Ponderosa buffet outings.

Rohan chronicled these profound days in the Arts computer lab (known affectionately in those halcyon days as The Arts Computer Lab) in his profound memoirs, reflecting profoundly on the profound effects the trials and tribulations had on our profound young souls. Some of our other adventures are covered in my Joy of Yaks article and we will be publishing more Computer Club stories in coming issues, as soon as we can remember any. If anyone dare dispute the accuracy of our memoirs, I would like to point out that I went through many years in the University computer club (I served under FIVE club presidents - we got a new one every year) and did not even graduate. I am not making this bit up. -mr brown
