   Sure, I'd like a display that accepted differential equations as
   input.  I now it's not the thread, but the thread is enjoyable!
   It's a lot better than programming language wars =(:-|).  
    
   BTW: if you animate 30 frames/second, what keeps you from changing
   the image on the other-every frame the fF does grab (I know little
   of how it works, but could understand).

      and the salesperson sez it does graphics, too!
