To Sandy and All

I too don't connect to LM_NET during the school day because I choose
to do it at home where I have uninterrupted time,

BUT I would use the school computer during the day if I didn't have
one at home, and would consider it my professional duty to do so in
order to keep up with the latest information, and provide my school
with current technology, teaching and materials.
