   Thanks for the info again, I tried the Blackberry Storm and it was awful. Always crashing and apps would not load right. So, since I LOVE my Macbook Pro, I tried the iPhone and love it. I got it so close to when the 3G S came out they exchanged it an...

   Thanks for the info. I had planned to take three classes over the summer, but maybe taking four and getting patho out of the way would be better. What do you think? Can you please tell me more about the iPhone? Do you love it? Do you use typhon throu...

   Eight miles is not bad, maybe even close to a bus route. Try to avoid places like Wilkinsburg, and south Oakland. There is parking a few blocks from the school that is not too bad, but parking in the Presby garage is close and expensive. I do not kn...

   I live about an hour north of the city and it is really cheap living. Taxes are really low compared to Allegheny county. I guess it depends on if you are alone, have a family or a spouse that needs to live near a job, or other circumstances. Do you p...

   Yes, I did. But I think you were in the other group when they split us. I remember thinking AZ was so far to come, but it all worked out for you. Congrats!

   Did you interview the 11th in the afternoon? Do you have a place to live yet? Good luck with the move! I hope you are ready for cold, dreary weather. Although, you might not even notice since we will be so busy!

   I don't think it will make for a huge advantage. From where are you relocating? I actually have to commute about an hour to get to Pitt, so I will loose any time I have gained quickly traveling so much.

    I will be starting Pitt in Aug, but I am taking a full time summer session to get a few classes out of the way. Hope to see you there! Do you know anything about typhon? Will it work with the iPhone? Have you heard of any other things that will be be...

    Thank you very much for you PM. I left a visitor message on your page because I can not PM yet. Thanks again I think I got the feeling that one school would be worse just from the interview, but your experience and others have helped make a difficult...
