Thanks to Kate for hearing about it, Jon for helping with the mystery, and Pooj for finding it ! :D you guys rock!
This is for my Pop Arthuriana bibliography for my arthurian legends class. By next monday, I have to have found 20 things having to do with King Arthur and the legends. I'm only allowed 10 internet hits, but this one is a doozy. I'll post the actual assignment in a little bit.

Let me recall past teaching indescretions:
-Banning calculators for YEARS
-I wasn't allowed to type (aka wordprocess) my homework/reports for years (god forbid I spell check)
-Even before the internet, I got in trouble for listing a CDROM Encyclopedia as a reference.
-My CS professor got agitated because I wanted to write my code on my machine, in my dorm, using faster better notepad type programs, instead of using the slow command-line based CS department terminals, or having to schlep to a lab.

Meanwhile, kids I have spoken to who attend RPI and Columbia are allowed to use Visual C++. This is computer science boot camp I tells ya! But really, the cs program here at UAlbany is just...like boot camp.
