As soon as I saw David's posting I had a psychic flash: "some asshole's going
to completely miss the point and dismiss the whole topic just because David
mentioned PT and Omni"

Sure enuf, the very next posting I saw was the one by Douglas, who opened his
mouth (so to speak) and removed all doubt.  ("Better to remain silent and let
others doubt your wisdom...").

Rent a brain, Doug.  One should not place too much trust in mass-mkt mags, but
one can certainly use them as a jumping off place to start searching for more
reliable information.  Some even include specific references to help you get
started (I wish more of them did).

Thanks to David for his posting, and if he or anyone else has more info from
non mass-mkt sources, so much the better.

Mail welcome, but my mailer seldom cooperates when I try to reply.
