An MBA would be cool for you to get, JP - we'll have to talk about it over the holidays. You should remember that a lot of the value of an MBA is not necessarily the actual education, but is in making connections with your fellow students. That's why it's important to get into the best school you possibly can.
You now have enough work experience (2+ years) - it would make sense for you to apply.

Yeah, Confusion was really good, as was Quicksilver. I'm finishing up the 3rd book, the System of the World, which drags more than the other two (plus, the main protagonists are almost 50 years older than in book 1, and almost 25 years older than in book 2, so they've understandably slowed down a bit...). I just hope the ending is a good one. What's interesting is that Stephenson is trying to chronicle (or present) a history of the evolution of commerce as we know it today. It's actually pretty deep...

I'd love to hear more about your likeness to Case from Neuromancer. Now, don't go around ripping off pirate hackers so they burn out your nerve cells (with the mycotoxin you define on Wikipedia!) - and when you finally make some money, you blow it all on drugs! Well, Case was pretty cool, other than really poor judgment some of the time (remember, Molly and Armitage hired Case because he was a predictable dead-ender...)

Talk to you guys soon!
