I think that there is a similar problem with kids being able to use calculators in high school as opposed to there minds. but I guess that what were all trying to do is find the simplest solution to any given problem. I will teach my children how to add & subtract as well as tie their own shoelaces (if they want to learn!) Keenan (drutx!kcd)
