"You yourself have stated that you spent many hours sleeping through your class lectures."

I never said that. I said this particular very photogenic instructor was a distraction to me, who was all of 19 years old.

And yes, I did understand it.

"I really don't feel like spending $150 to get all of Shannon's published works.
"

What's the matter? Did your stock options not fully vest? Alittle short on change?

"For some reason Shanon's BSTJ papers "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" were not required reading when I took a course entitled "Advanced Topics in Information Theory", when I was a graduate student at MIT in the early 1960's. It was taught by Claude Shannon. I managed to pull an A between naps."

Was it because he was a boring lecturer or you were a boring student? 8-)
