Phiilips Exeter has a $1.5 biilion endowment for a High School.
Berea College had that number back in the 80's or 90's
Not bad for a tiny college
1st to admit blacks
1st to admit women
Free to attend (need to work 10 to 20 hrs a week on campus tho)
No donor funds
No sports teams
No fancy dorms
No massive donor
No nepotism
1st generation poor kids only
Just old fashioned education at no cost to students or their families
Their endowment was tiny but they had a finance guy that made Warren Buffet looked like a 3rd grader buying nothing but dumb boring companies and letting them grow over time.
It took UK another generation to get to just a billion dollar endowment and lots of big donors.
If this school can make FREE education work, why are they alone?
Why do all colleges and universities not follow parts off this example?

Up to $95,000.
Wish it could be higher.
Nice to hear from another Auburn grad.

Pretty sure Lee County upgraded to Fortran/COBOL infrastructure sometime in 3Q 2022
Say what you will, but those languages are still very stable. I have some FORTRAN / COBOL stuff backed up on my 8 inch floppies!

AS-400?
It would be a 2" x 3".
I could convert it, if you ask nicely.
Any type of Chip.

This was my post to The Cluckster on another thread
Already converted it from the magnetic tape on the big reels to the 8 inch drive like this one.
Those 5.25's and 3.5's are too newfangled for me.

Probably should've mentioned — in one of his introductory posts on another board, he noted that he was a personal injury lawyer, a registered Democrat, a uaa plant, and a proud dad.
Sorry, man.

I'm being told that ForeverGator, jonnyanony, and several other prominent Disney Gators have scrubbed this information from internet servers using Mr. Grits' 8-inch WANG floppy (as pictured above).
This thing clearly goes deep.
