I guess things have changed since the dinosaur days. When I was in college the away note was on a dry-erase board stuck rather dubiously to the dorm room door. Students didn't have phone lines in their rooms, much less 24-hr DSL. And we walked 15 miles uphill each way in the blinding snow with 25 pounds of books on our backs to get to the lectures, which were conducted in over-heated halls with cloak-rooms for the soggy woolen outer wear.
Oh, wait, I take it all back. I was just, er..., let's see... oh, yeah!... I was making fun of Jurassic Referee. I'm not really that old. At least, don't tell the local college assignor I am.
