He indeed was a nice guy but very hard to listen and understand that there are different methods to do the same exact thing. Eventually I wasn't kicked out of whatever we did that time. of-course as you understood he was very exception nice guy. One small problem is that unfortunately when you do work with low level network protocols I found myself a bit lost and on verge of inventing the wheel just to fulfill a small task. As I posted earlier I am still looking for a mentor that knows this academic world you was talking about to learn from. the main problem is that many if !most || !all of these nice professors\teachers would like to make a living and there for wont have too much for me. Just to make it more clear: Wanted someone that can make sense of most of programming and CS to me in a human language and using metric < 4 . Regards, Eliezer
