 Ni> I don't remember my high school offering auto shop. I did take a typing

Count Zero Interrupt, one of the sysops in the othernet I was in back in the '90s took a job in the IT department at a local high school - he's now running IT for a district.

He moved out into the country, bought a big plot of land, planned on building a house. He bought an old '60s Dodge 1 ton truck to haul the material he'd need and let the kids rebuild the engine in shop class. Everybody wins.

The rest of the story: He bought the truck from a city 60 miles away from his land. He brought it home, parked it in the driveway and his neighbor did a double-take - the truck had belonged to the previous owner, who had passed away.
