	Doubt it. You can still _take_ shop classes, but you have
to drive halfway across the Santa Clara valley to do it, and
somehow work both the class time and the travel time into your
schedule.

	What? You mean like shooting pointy little bits of brazing
rod out of the chip-blower guns at old CRTs? That sort of thing? :-)

(Disclaimer: I am _not_ suggesting that anybody try this at home, even
if they do have an industrial air-compressor, brazing rod, and a bunch
of old CRTs at home. If Johnny superglued his eyelids shut does that
mean _you_ would have to? Hey, are you listening to me young man?! :-)
