Digital Divide
Today on the Brown Line I saw a student studying a Microsoft office book. He was reviewing exam questions for Excel 2002. I’ve been creating graphs and analyzing trends in Excel since I was in high school.

Microsoft Excel 2002
Also, does he know that Office 2007 is about to be released? The information that he is studying is horribly out of date. Sometimes I feel sorry for people that don’t get the latest technology from the Firm. I’ve been running Office 2007 since it was at Beta 1.






I’m confused. What are the post-collegiate, obnoxious, frat-boy types if not chads (since these types typically attended–ew–public institutions of learning)?
And also, I thought the excel-using financial yuppies lived in the west loop/river north and that it is the illiterate trader and/or married-with-kids who ventures north of Division. Please explain. My stereotypes are all outta wack. Thank you.
