Boy… Thanks, for the comments and ideas, guys… I guess <g>. Eric — Think all that went a little too quick for me. I'll be sifting through that for a while yet. Your "stream of conciousness" approach to physics is a new one for me I must say… You have some nice insights. Douglas — I think the closest I've come to the Altair is that LightBright toy where you stick colored, semi-clear pegs through black paper on a light box. Not quite the same, I guess. (Although, there's kind of a ray trace type thing happening with a LightBright. <g>) Dan — We've got this place in San Jose, CA (a little north of me) called Computer Literacy Bookshops that will undoubtedly have the books you mentioned. I will pick it up. (For those of you that aren't familiar, these bookshops, there are only two, are almost _twice_ the size of the average B. WaldenDalton's. Silicon valley has quite an appetite for the stuff.) Thanks again all, – Mark P.S. If this thread goes on much longer we're sure to find somebody who'll start off with something like… "When _I_ was a kid, _we_ took notes on stone tablets with a sharp rock and a big one for a hammer… And we _liked_ it too!…" There are 2 Replies.
