Oh, apologies for the red herring here. In UK a 'college' is usually a Further Education College or a Sixth Form College. These institutions cater for students from 16 to 19 plus various adult education courses and some degree lev

Small, medium and large colleges in the UK ran on Novell servers and 386 client machines with windows for workgroups and whatever Office they came with. I think the universities were using unixy minicomputers then though. Late 80s early 90s

It's more completing book length works that are published by a publishing house. Therefore subjected to content editing, copy editing and finding an audience. Quite a complex multi-stage process. What criteria are you using to evaluate

I think it depends on what one regards as a minor dispute. The Newton/Leibniz calculus dispute a generation or so earlier was pretty major, with Newton defending his deductive geometrical method of fluxions against Leibniz's more

I'm not seeing any big problems with the portraits. Having said that, should this company not be successful, Mr Zbyszek Jędrzejewski-Szmek has potentially a glowing career as an artists' model. Think Rembrandt sketches. I look for
