Blykins,
Remember Summer is here and the posting always slows way down then. Tru and all of the guys who have to dig tunnels to see the sun are out enjoying seeing real ground again. And many of us are either doing yard work, going on vacations , or just doing stuff that can't be done in the Winter, which includes driving. Come next Winter and the posting will take off again. I have to go over to a friends house today and take her printer apart to see what has locked up the cartridge carriage. Normally I wouldn't waste that much time on an older printer, but she has offered me a 6 pack of Diet Pepsi.
Mike,
Forget being an engineer and go into Quantum Physics. Then Algerbra will seem like a comic book to you. Believe what Blykins said. It won't get easier, but anything that is easy usually isn't worth much. The better basics you learn, the easier it will be when you get to Calc. and the real stuff. Hang in there and don't get discouraged, you will make it.
Oh, by the way, they showed the Ghosts on the History Channel last night and I must admit some of the people that they talked to and the places they showed were really very interesting. Now if I could just meet one of them.
Ron
