Trust me, I could write a book about what I don't know about graphics. LOL, I don't think anybody around here is "zooming:" I'm (quite seriously) so stubborn and independent that I've been teaching myself because I'm quite incapable of learning from others. So it seems like zooming to ya guys because I did it on my own, but really that's because I'm an overly independent New Englander type when it comes to tech and science stuff.

Prof. Barry Mazur, who taught me group theory -- a hard kinda math -- at Harvard, stood up before our class and suggested that the stuff was so complicated that we really had to teach *ourselves* group theory -- he could just help. LOL, that course WAS hard and basically, he was right. Stuff like math I can only learn myself, really.

Like right now, at work, my boss has given me comments on something. And - I hope he doesn't mind - I'm always asking him questions about his comments and asking him to repeat parts, just 'cause my skull's so thick I want to make sure I'm absolutely absorbing his take on it. Even when I *want* to listen, LOL, I really have to focus to do it.

Which all goes back to the Freepmail St.Louie1 sent me when I did my first post. He said: "I guess this means you're going to be pretty impossible around here now." And I responded, "Wasn't I always?" ;)

No zooming here. Just stubborn, individualistic, secretive New England plodding.

That's one of the things I love about you girl! (and one of the reasons you can survive with reasonable sanity in D.C. while most of us are safely "enscounded" in the midwest...(or red states)
