LOL It helps, although it also scares the bleep out of me. I flunked algebra. What can I say? I kept thinking that I understood it. But then, come the tests, I would find that, apparently, I did not. Yeh, my nemeth sucks. Mind you, that's probably because I was never formally taught it. Yeh, there's good old CNIB. Somewhat foscilized, but still helpful. Thanks for the tip. I should check their library and see if they have anything like that. Heck, they could probably get the audio books you mentioned themselves on interlibrary loan.
