See, I read Heinlein first when I was 10. It was magical stuff then and at least some of my enjoyment is nostalgia. But I like books that made me think, even about silly things - and this particular book was written in 1951, when really and truly no one knew what was on the other side of the moon. They were pretty sure, but no-one had been there.

Some general remarks about HTML and such for you and Suzi: the reason why some tags are allowed to have spaces, such as < img src > is because the first part is the name of the tag - what it is - and the second part is one particular behavior of that tag. The "img" tells the browser that it's a picture; the "src" bit says where to find that pic. You can have other things, like "height" and "border" after the "src" too.

The hex tables - if you have Paintshop, or even Paint, open up the color palette and pick the color you want. The hex value should be shown somewhere. If it's just a "200 Red, 50 Blue, 6 Green", you can convert - the hex values are just those numbers in hex - base 16. So "ffffff" is just 256-256-256 - or white.

Thanks for the HTML tips! I knew about being able to add other image properties, but only height and src...what does border do? Guess I could play with it and find out...

And the Paint tip for finding hex values is helpful, too.

Testing!
