Its not really worth the effort -- if you've read the book you won't get anything more form the program. Rather a poor "yuppiefied" gee-whiz program, not a patch on the good Horizon/Nova programs. BTW, I don't thing the production group is the same as the Cosmos crew (that was a lot better than this). Bit of a shame -- I thought it was going to be a good program too! _________________________________________________________________________ Kevin 'fractal' Purcell ...................... kpurcell @ liverpool.ac.uk Surface Science Centre, Liverpool University, Liverpool L69 3BX "My karma just reversed over your dogma"
