Visual Studio .NET is coming to a campus near you! Starting March 4, 2002

1. How did you sign up for 15 seats? Just kept registering?

2. Do you know is it for students only?

[xsiled2]

ya, and i am a student....

[xsiled2]

hrm that better not mean i have to go to UofA....

[IIMrHeadII]

It doesn't mention anywhere having to be a student at whatever school they're going to be at, only that you have to be a student/faculty member at a university with a valid ID.

[xsiled2]

where does it say that?

I hope they allow high school teachers to go...I'm more likely to volume purchase than most college faculty...I'm my districts technology consultant. We'll see.

I don't see why not =) it didn't say you must be a "college" faculty member, or etc. Doesn't hurt to try! Just as long as you have proper ID. OR if you still have old identification cards. I'm doubt they'll be extremely strict about it.

[redryder]
