 >You've definitely picked a tough subject to start out with.

 Actually, I haven't chosen adaptive filters as a starting point; I have
 studied regular filter theory before (both digital and analog) but what
 I'm doing now is trying to get the practical aspects of it.  Theory is
 fine, but it's necessary to actually program some of these things and
 run them with different levels of input noise, different word widths,
 etc to get a true feel for it.

 The reason I'm looking at adaptive filters now is that I'd just finished 
 my FFT program and was trying to decide what to do next.  Then my local
 bookstore had a good Adaptive Signal Processing book on their 30% off
 shelf.  For books that cost $100+, that 30% off is too tempting to pass
 up.  I also got "Digital Signal Processing, Engineering Aplications" by
 Douglas F. Elliot; it seems a well written book.  I really like that 30% 
 off shelf.  :)

 Adaptive filters theory seems to differ enough from regular filters that 
 being an expert in regular filter design isn't required.  Besides, I've
 already done some regular filter design and it's more interesting to
 look at something new.  Keeping my interest up is important.

 I'll have to look for that new book by Oppenheim; I've used some of his
 other books.
