Just wached an video on bonds & long-term notes, made in 1997… where was I in 1997?
I was in 5th Grade, surfing the interwebs at school. It is so weird to see content for higher education made when I was very young, exported to VHS, digitized later from VHS, converted to QuickTime MOV format, made available online, where I then purchased an online license to access such content for approximately $90, downloaded over my now broadband connection (Although slowly from McGraw-Hill Servers @ 180KB/s) and replayed for my now 2010 Financial Accounting Class, on modern hardware.
You’d think that after milking content made for 1997-2000, that they have made enough money to offer better content. Although the problem is not that simple, my instructor _requires_ us that we use the older edition, and since it is an online class, I am required to buy an online use code to access the ‘Homework Manager.’ Nothing more than the regurgitated teachers-edition, quizzes and exams.
At least I can learn the concepts on my own time, method, and convenience. Ahh progress.
