Sadly, I don't, even though I'm even taking my English class over the Internet.
My school, being ridiculously fearful of hackers in their mainframes, opted to
give us free accounts through a local ISP, with the standard .com extension.
So instead, after a few inquiries to WDC, I was told to get a signed letter
from an instructor on school letterhead stationary that properly identifies me.
None of the department workers will give me letterhead stationary, because
they're afraid I'll forge something. And my teachers just don't have the time
to draft a letter for me.
This route is easier, I guess. At least, it's a lot cheaper than buying and
cannibalising one of the redesigned Super Nintendos for its CPU.
