I apologize that my students sent an HTML document instead of their Toolkit
Proposal in text-only. I have taken their htmls out and re-posted a text
-only version.

It was rather exciting to see that they had actually worked out a web page
without my knowledge or help. It actually worked when I tried it out and I
will add it to their Mars web pages.

The students came in completely excited because today was "post-it day".
They had their work on a disk, loaded it to show me that it was o.k. What
they didn't show me was the two versions of the proposal. They did tell me
that I would really be surprised. I was. Jan, you did tell me in August that
one needs to have many forms of evaluation--well, I will have to take the
proposal page into consideration. No wonder their homework has been minimal
recently. It probably took 200 hours to work out the html codes.
