Did I Miss Anything?[Question frequently asked by students after missing a class
by Tom Wayman]
Nothing:– When we realized you weren't here we sat
with our hands folded on our desks in silence, for the full two hours
Everything:– I gave an exam worth 40 per cent of the grade
for this term and assigned some reading due today on which I'm about to hand out a quiz worth 50 per cent.
Copyright - D. Brandon, Ph.D., PMP - Christian Brothers University
Nothing:– None of the content of this course has value or
meaning. Take as many days off as you like: any activities we undertake as a class I assure you will not matter either to you or me and are without purpose.
Everything:– A few minutes after we began last time, a shaft of
light descended and an angel or other heavenly being appeared and revealed to us what each woman or man must do to attain divine wisdom in this life and the hereafter. This is the last time the class will meet before we disperse to bring this good news to all people on earth.

Nothing:– When you are not present how could
something significant occur? Everything:
– Contained in this classroom is a microcosm of human existence assembled for you to query and examine and ponder. This is not the only place such an opportunity has been gathered, but it was one place - And you weren't here !

The release of Office 95 marked a new strategy from Microsoft.
Instead of sporadically releasing new versions of the Office products separately, they decided to update all the products at once and bracket them under a new name.
This update strategy is still in-use by Microsoft today.
