I guess I should have learned by know that there is no such thing as a casual
statement here.  I did not mean to get into a big debate on this but I do agree
that if cost is a factor then MIT is probably not quite what it is as when you
take cost out of the equation.

I am also going on reputaion (which is not allways a good way to make
judgements) more than anything.

I also did not go to MIT and feel very strongly about the education I received.
Anyway I did not mean to get into a debate over this but sometimes you don't
allways get what you want. :) .

I agree. If cost is no object, MIT is clearly in the top 5 in the world (along with CalTech)... (...) As long as you get what you neeeed... :-) (or is a stones reference dating me?) (27 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
