so, is it because i was an adult, not dependent on my folks that i and all 
my friends in same boat could only take out $2500 in the early 90s? now i'm 
gonna have to call someone at sallie mae and freakin find out. i'm glad i 
don't have the debt, but so many different decisions might have been made. 
and i absolutely know for a fact that, in grad school, i was told the limit 
was 8k. no mention was ever made of more than that. this is going to bug 
the sheeeeeeit outta me til i find out!
