My question should have been....

For those of us who don't have times to read the cliff's notes, is there a video version. You know, something like an extended trailer with spoilers.

Skip - you are joking aren't you? This just can not be true. It makes me want to sit on the front porch, rock in my rocker, and wonder what the world is coming to!

He's not joking Kathy. It was reported at The Digital Bits last week or so.

Unfortunately they're having server issues, so I can't point it to you.

Don't bother, they're testing brain implants. The Borgs are coming.
This can not come too soon since the children today can not take order or make change unless the cash register has a picture of the item. Pretty soon they will not even have hit the streets to find their drugs. We can just stack them up like cord wood. I solves the over population problem.

I was looking at some college catalogs and noted that they had multiple semester courses on programs I figured out how to use in about 15 minutes. College today is just a warehousing system interested making money.

Not that it makes me feel any better, the article I read today about this version said that it's the full movie with the Cliff notes book with it.

Maybe a cultural gap, but who's Cliff and what are his notes?

RossRoy: Cliffs Notes are the U.S. version of Cole's Notes here in Canada.

DJ Doena: Traditionally, Cliffs Notes are basically super-abridged versions of books, along with some analysis. A 300 page novel boiled down a fraction of that, as well as some thoughts on the deeper meaning. Most commonly used by students when they're assigned novels in school and don't want to read the whole thing.
