h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Good combination.

We always have two subjects in which we "major" in high school - mine were maths and physics - and then two more that count toward the final exam. I did history because I needed a social science and English because I was guaranteed good results

To do a degree in the area I want it's best to have maths and physics but i'm not a huge fan of physics so I'm not taking it. To be honest I could do a science degree and still end up working with computers as most places will offer on the job training as the way they do the work and the way uni's teach it is diffferent. So i could do a degree in forensics or soemthing cool and still end up working (breaking) computers for a job!

I was slighlty annoyed by my english results before my last exam as i as 14 marks form the highest grade!

So you want to go into computers whatever you do?

Yeah I find computers itneresting so I'd quite like a job working with them. I would like to set up my own business but it's probably more hassle than it's worth.

All that paperwork...

Indeed, unless i can do it all the computers.

Save a tree, use a computer!

So you're not one of these people like my boss, who insists on printing out every e-mail?

nah not worth the effort

That's what I think. Same with proofreading, he always insists on printing the document out. Drives me nuts.

Reading pages of info i'd probably print out to stop my eyes getting sore but for a few pages it's not worth it.

That's why I don't think e-books will really take off!

And they don't have wings either...

Might make a good frisbee, though...

Or a boomerang, you could read different bits of it as it came back to you!

You'd have to roll your eyes pretty fast as it spins

Which would mean you ended up with sore eyes again! it's a never-ending problem!

Unless you build a mechanical eye-roller

The are coming!!

You mean you're borg!!
