I know this sounds crazy, but I heard an advertisement on 91 ZM FM today saying it was a free computer course and you get to keep the computer when you're done. Was I just downwind of the boy-racer's exhaust in front of me, or did anyone else hear this?

Mac's cost way more than PC's,
they are not popular anymore, like they use to be.

I looked that at the site and doesn't say much, anyone know more?

I would be willing to put up with a Mac for a couple of months, as long as at the end I can sell the Mac of and for the same price buy a Athlon 2200+ with a GF4Ti4600 computer. :D :D :D :D :D

The free computer is a Compaq.

You have to put in a minimum of 12 hours per week there studying.

As far as I am aware, you probably have to be a dumass to get in.

International Computer Drivers Licence


WTF ?!?!?!
[THINKS: May have been gulity of using a computer WITHOUT a licence while in another country ...]

Yeah I heard it too, it also says you have to pass the course well thats what it said on the radio anyway. So if they just get real dumbassess to do the course then they wont be giving away many free computers now will they.
