    The best teacher in the world, on disk, no appointment
    necessary, no geographical limitations, and for only
    pennies (charge more and the disk will be pirated.
    Get over it.)

    That's the new era. Hurrah!

    Just a few days ago I googled up some cytology and
    histology. A full bore cirriculum with links galore
    and graphics. I did the same several years back, and
    it only gets better by the day.

    I would think the business model would be built around
    gathering the appropriate links for a comprehensive
    cirriculum, then testing, then certification. Maybe
    an online forum for that P2P personal touch.

    Best, Jeff Davis
