Subject: Re: [MK8] question about burning playlists with songs from iTunes....

I had to burn a CD recently to verify that I was NOT using the internet
with my activity. It was a short video but with computerized testing using
so much bandwidth, our admins create draconian and unwarranted restrictions
in the use of electronic devices.

I had to pitch a fit to turn ON my computer to use it because some thought
that by being on/connected the school network, I was using coveted
internet bandwidth.
I was ticked.
School has come to a screeching halt with only two activities: testing and
babysitting.
It is unconscionable.
