Newton was a vindicative SOB and generally an unpleasant bloke.. And that chap Descarte's dravel in Latin is still, together with "Tristan and Isolde" on my eternal hate list... All the crap they forced us to read at school... :) I bet it was even worse for the American students as they doesn't have any history to spend time on, just a pack of authors and dead Presidents :) :) And just love the film episode of The Black Adder (Mr Bean or Rowan Atkinson ) travels back in time and really punches out the dratted Billy Shakespeare... :) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212579/ Nowadays, we mostly use Shakespeare to distinguish proper actors from American actors :) Cheers //Dan -- Dan Andersson, M0DFI [EMAIL PROTECTED]
