Well, well, perhaps after the Simon Frasierites get done complaining
about the inherent sexism in the video, they will return to its
contents to examine why a professor apparently old enough to have
gained tenure is spending her working hours playing Solitaire on a
computer. Is Miss Pinkham so well and truly over the hill that her
abilities are reduced to mouse-clicking through two-decades-old
playing-card software? Or has she not kept up-to-date on gaming
software advances since she was an undergraduate? Alternatively, is
Simon Frasier's computer technology budget so sparse that it cannot
afford machines that can handle more modern and hardware demanding
games?<br>
<br>
On the other hand, Miss Pinkham may be a professor of ancient gaming
software. If so, she might e-mail Chad to apply for a graduate
school research assistant position in comparative software studies.
With sufficient grant money, they could build a Beowulf cluster in
the extra space in her long, deep office. The heat emitted from all
those computers operating together would keep her office quite warm,
and allow advanced gaming research studies.<br>
