Morgan -
Thanks for the links, but I have two problems which prevent me from using those ideas. First, I have never been able to understand any code which I did not write myself.
Second, I have no math. In Junior High, I was plucked out of normal math and put in an experimental "new math" program which ruined me for life. All I can remember from it was months of converting things which looked something like this:
(x+y)*(y+x) into something more like this:
xx+3x+y
(I'm sure this is totally wrong, all I'm saying is that the first one had parentheses and the second one didn't.) As you can tell, I retained none of it. No point to this exercise was ever given, and the need for it has never come once up in my 59 years. How I longed to be in the same classes with my friends - they were learning real things like how to calculate the height of a building and accelerations of vehicles.
