Message:: [QUOTE="brassnautilus, post: 2140199, member: 74300"]I paid $40 for each hour of college lecture, this was University of Michigan in the late 90s. I also calculated (a bean counter that I am) my friend paid close to $65 per hour at Columbia. Keep in mind professors had to spend time outside of lectures with their students. That really isn't the point though. A lot of us have access to these "high tech" equipments. Maybe not bausch and lomb, but a digital microscope isn't all that unaffordable. Equipments do no good if one didn't know how to use them, or what to look for, and Bing's case was probably as good as it gets for an opportunity to learn something useful. If "19th century" and "cast fake" were all Bing had gotten, then David Sear either didn't want to give out his trade secrets, or was unwilling to spend 5 more minutes writing down what he saw. Most doctors don't just tell you whether you were sick, they also tell you why and how to avoid getting sick.[/QUOTE]
