I don't have any concerns about the class thus far. Since I was in Biological Databases last semester, I feel comfortable with the content that will be presented in this class.

Besides being a Biology major, I am quite computer savvy and I prefer the Mac OS X operating system.

I am an avid reader of technology blogs such as Engadget
