<DIV>To all List Members</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My comments about not receiving the Qdos for contributing to a storyboard resource was a bit tounge in cheek. I have always found it funny that this resource has about, at least 6 contributors that I am aware of. One of which was me. Thanks to all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My request for clarity on the SAC was genuine. Thanks to all who replied. (Thanks for corrections Antonio.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The VITTA CD is fantastic. Warts and all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you to all who contributed to its development.</DIV>

Fox, eds. AIDS: The Burdens of History.<BR>Berkeley: University of California Press, 1988.<BR><BR>This does not occur anywhere under resources. If students were to make<BR>such errors on VCE essays they would be penalised. Please bring this to<BR>your student's attention.<BR><BR>The CD also does not list any of the VITTA programming CDs as resources,<BR>so I assume that they feel these are not worthwhile - but I guess this<BR>is a decision that was made, not an oversight.<BR><BR>People in glass houses ...... should proof-read and check resources on a<BR>resources CD.<BR><BR>David Dawson<BR><BR><BR><BR>______________
