ah, well, what do i know.  all they taught me was disk seek algorithms
used in mainframes made before i was born and the layout of the MS-DOS
boot sector.

our textbook was a glossy paperback about Windows NT.  we learned about
VirtualAlloc and _beginthreadex.  it was like some kind of sick joke.  
i'd be overjoyed to learn about Mach VM and vnd stuff that died out five
years ago.

but, I see your point.  blame the IEEE curriculum reccommendation.
