Hi, Roger, I could manage using a patch cord linking two tape recorders
together and when I could hear what was happening with the other tape
recorder when a monitor switch was turned on, I thought it the most
wonderful thing. The tape recorder would only record what was coming from
another tape recorder and I could answer the phone or talk to someone and no
harm done. Now this ripping-and-burning stuff on using a computer has me
spooked. All this talk of gain control and choosing so many herz or whatever
you call them goes right over my head. Ask me to read a manual and poof!
brain shuts down, mind falls asleep, I think I'll never grasp this stuff and
why am I trying when I can do something fun like reading some escapist
literature that has a story instead of dry sentences that one could never
class as amusing. I could manage books on biology because I've always been
interested in the physical world. Roger, I have a hunch that if one is
taught a subject in an interesting way, chances are we'd be able to grasp
it. I think a teacher has to be a bit of an actor, don't you? I bet you've
had to sit through a possibly interesting class when in comes the lecturer
who drones in a monotone. Maybe he or she may like what he/she is teaching
but can't convey that spark to the auditors in the room. Isn't there a
possibility that labs could be conducted in an interesting fashion whereby
you can grasp that tracking experiment number 1 may be an interesting and an
enlightening to do. Here's to your right and left brain as well as mine. We
can only trust we're not finished learning yet. Best regards, Kim aka
Ellinder.

Well, there are different ways of being smart. I think I just might be
right-brain smart as opposed to left-brain smart. That is, I am the kind of
person who can take a lab and lecture course and ace the lecture and flunk
the lab. I tend to think that using computers is like being in a perpetual
lab course. And believe me, all the chemistry lab courses I had to take to
get my biology degree just about did me in.

Roger, I can't figure out how to replace the paragraph breaks in Open
Office. I clicked on the help and it gave me step by step directions on how
to do
it, and I still can't do it. After I eat I may play with it some more, but
for now I am stumped and frustrated. I feel sure there has to be a solution
to your problem, but I don't know what it is right now.
I always have to smile when you say that you don't know something because I
remember playing Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader with you and damn, but
you're
smart!
