Sometimes the Internet seems so vast and impersonal, but as Dianne and others have said, the technology provides an amazing Petrie dish for ideas to flourish. <BR/><BR/>Cegebe, by self-teaching I meant what Andy said, that each of us is picking up knowledge from all around us and sharing it freely with each other on this blog. <BR/><BR/>The Minnaert book that Richard mentioned and the Hamilton Field book were references that I knew nothing about until I learned about them from you all. <BR/><BR/>So let’s see where Year 2 takes us!James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-8286128749552019452008-07-16T12:44:00.000-04:002008-07-16T12:44:00.000-04:00This blog is amazing!
