vampsoul: Sure thing. Just saw your numbers start to escalate and wanted to list a couple alternatives for folks if you outgrew the Painter's party room and needed to colonize some other sites. :smile: I've heard it over and over in the halls and meetings the last couple of weeks that the...

Actually, getting from Penn Station to Grand Central on a Sunday afternoon is a walk in the park. It's the cabs on the arrival town-to-West Point end that you've got to have pre-arranged and certain!

Hearty second to edhvoice. Driving without insurance is a bad idea. Not driving because you don't have insurance and wishing you did is also bad. Being a student driver who is at school far from home (in other words, without regular access to a car) means that you are in such a low risk...

Ditto to what America's Finest said, but clarity is important: you can branch Engineers with any major, but you can only become an engineer (with a little "e" -- a person who can go on to get a PE license) by studying engineering-- either by getting the degree or by loads of on-the-job...
