Good suggestion.
The reason why I suggested it would make a good
community college course is that it could be offered
real cheap. Have a look at how insane the prices are
for taking A+, MCSE and CCNA classes. Who's got money
for that? Having it offered through small colleges, we
could cut the savings down. Having it online (if
you're ambitious enough, with video streams) you can
cut it down even further. It would be great for the
have-nots.

Well, it's over simplified for a reason. I'm not sure
what a teacher would do for Atari Fundamentals and
Atari Honours. I would think that were would be some
heavy theory questions in assembly or something. I
don't know. If you have any suggestions, that would be
great.

Let's make that into a class:
