Joseph,

I played around with ProSolv at one of the AAPT Meetings and kept asking
myself, could I not do this faster with pen and paper?  This was one time
when I felt the computer was a barrier to my learning.  Please understand
I am no "Power" user of ProSolv.  I kept wanting to draw diagrams and
sketches of the problem.  Give me a simple trig calculator, pen and paper,
not a CRT in this case.  I will be interested in other ideas as I sure
would take another look if positive comments show up.
