Sorry to barge in like this. But history is not at all boring. IT IS THE WAY THE DAMN EDUCATION SYSTEM PUTS IT THAT MAKES STUDYING IT BORING. Children will watch documentaries on WW-I, WW-II etc.. with great intent and WILL REMEMBER THE FACTS and FIGURES well! But when it comes to reading the stupid books written by some thickhead, they just get bored. Come ON there are not even decent drawings or pictures in those books for crying out loud! Ahem...so in conclusion it is a flawed analogy... Sorry for the OTness! Let the flames continue!! :D -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
