Wayne, I beg to differ with number 2. In the college classes that I *still* take, I tend to gauge the level of cognition by my fellow students and promote further discussion on topics that it seems others are having trouble grasping – by asking questions that *I* already know the answer to. You know you're preaching to the choir<g>. In a CAM environment you have the subject nailed, however, I doubt the validity of what you propound when the subject is a complex assembly. Whether this assembly is a house, a stretch of watermain, or a bicycle, there is too much information to convey to have the drawing fall out of the criticality loop. I'm not disagreeing with you, but when you start talking holistic, there's a whole lotta applications out there. They might not be as interesting as the CAM environment, but they do exist, and will for a long time to come. Dennis
