HERE'S HOW - You'll save up to $73 on our already low CUSTOM prices by choosing a “STANDARD-SIZED” vertical ("Standard size" simply means preset sizing in exact 12" increments). It's really that simple. Below you'll see a few examples of your savings (many more sizes available) "We sell verticals, venetians and pleated shades at VERY, VERY LOW PRICES!" "We'll look at the new technology and hardware design that's coming out and how to apply it," said Elsdon. "We've come a long way. but we've got a lot to learn. There are thousands of different things to deal with - literally." It was in Grade , that both young men began to seriously "access" computers. Curiosity and experi- mentation played major roles in their interest and. as Elsdon explained, it was something like baking a computer cake. "You start with a recipe to see if it works. If it doesn't, you go back to re-writing the recipe and baking it again. If you want to use that analogy. it's like creating your own recipe. You're always chal- We've always offered you great pricing on Custom-Sized Verticals. But now there's a way to save even more! While Elsdon described the Windows operating system as "Microsoft's gift to dummies", these stu- dents aren't in that league. Inglis in Grade 12 and Elsdon in Grade 11 are both gifted students. but are both extremely modest about their current levels of expertise. In fact, they find it difficult to explain to the ordinary user just where they are in the hierar- chy of computerization. Elsdon mentioned "setting up networks and stuff like that" in a summer course he took at Loyola High School and Inglis quietly said "he isn't as far along as Fraser." Certainly, they both know quite a lot about pro- gramming and will learn more in the university's program. Mark Inglis and Fraser Elsdon, both 16, will be travelling to the university every day for three weeks this summer to upgrade their computer skills in lectures and labs of two hours each. A brochure on the university's Computer Insights '93 program states that the Grade 11 and 12 students chosen to attend must have "strong programming skills," although they don't have to be computer experts. It adds that the program "attracts some of the bright- est and most dynamic students from the greater Toronto area." WIDTH: STANDARD ( HEIGHT SIZE 48x72 .... '61.... 60x72 ....

Not so, said the two students. but it will be extremely useful to them in their careers. Elsdon is contemplating biomedical engineering, chemistry or a related science while Inglis is look- ing to accounting. Those of us who have experienced the pain and frustration of seeing our hard work swallowed up by a machine, never to be seen again. can take heart from Elsdon's admission that he, too, made mistakes in his trial and emr process of learning - the only way to learn. " far as he is concerned. He said he once accidentally wa.rped his friend's hard disk which was later "retrievable." On another occasion. he stumbled across one of the passwords in the school's programming puddle where be obvi- ously had no business playing. This discovery got him into a little hot water with the authorities. he ruefullv noted. Inglis noted that technological advances are creating a new type of programming that will make it easy to use. It will even be kind enough to cornect its user's errors. They further explained it by saying it is neces- sary to break down the component into its facets, analyze them and put them back together again in the desired form. In the process, they both said they consulted reference books to see how other people turned human language to machine language. They are constantly using that language in com- pleting homework assignments on their own IBM clones at home or just extending their knowledge on the school's computers. It takes up a lot of their time. Elsdon said most of his post-school hours during the week are spent at the computer. in the drafting and technical department, they said. Although computer skills is an optional course at the school, Elsdon thought it should be compulsory. For one thing. he said teachers are no longer will- ing to accept hand-written assignments from senior students. lenging yourself by trying to get things to work dif ferently or better."

Halton Regional Police said someone broke into Chartwell Community Homes through an unlocked window to the meeting room. Nothing was stolen,but about $200 in damage was done when the culprits knocked a large plant to the ground and papers and cups were strewn around the room. Police said it's likely the cul- prits were looking for cash and upon finding none, did some dam- age instead. EXIERIOR VE N ET Df SAVE a .
