Awesome, Thanks so much Brian, that's what I was thinking.
You know sometimes the picture is painted like this is a dungeon and they
whip you while you type, and they won't let you bring anything, the machines
are from 1950 and have no applications to use. You must convert your ASCI
keystrokes to binary before entering them in over their special rollover
cable. The cables that go between the routers are special and they fail if
you type the wrong command, the proctors won't answer any questions, and
they secretly change the temperature in the room drastically to freeze you
then make you really hot to add stress, and they all have attitudes and will
fail you for the slightest thing.
And with all that in your mind you think if I even ask to bring in my
colored pencils the proctor will instantly have an attitude about me and
fail me.
Cool name by the way!
