Yes. I'm a high school physics teacher now and it has been keeping me
pretty
busy till I work out a system. I'm the only physics teacher and teach
Advanced Placement Physics, Concept Physics, and Physical Science.
I'm in a little place called Sequim (Say Skwim -- local Indian tribe name)
Wa****ngton. Check Yahoo or Google Maps if you like. The biggest drawback
is a
casino less than two miles away and a silly theory that I can use the
Poison
distribution to beat the casino at roulette. I have been running lots of
simulations and it looks like you just have to be there when there is a
cluster that matches the numbers you decide to bet. But it is great fun
watching all the people with theories.
The school I'm at banned all Macs due to misguided administrative boobs.
The
physics storeroom has $40,000 worth of equipment for use with Macs (much
never opened) and a previous generation of interfaces for Apple II, either
of
which works fine for the data rates and analysis in high school labs. So,
I'll be with a different school system next year.
I have bookmarked the sourceforge mailing list.
Heading into winter about now? I'm looking forward to two plus months of
summer break.
