HI, Jim Thanks for having made us aware of this new software, or technology. As I was thinking of ways to use this technology, I remembered what you've told me for years -- that is, we can use technology for any purpose we like. It's first important to decide WHAT we want to teach, and then you'll usually be able to find the technology that will help in that effort. Again, thanks. Janet Dr. J.
