    I hold a PHD in Electrical Engineering. My PHD thesis was written so 
my wife could at least read it (she typed it long before computers). I 
didn't say you have to have a PHD in EE to read it. But you did and they 
who read it all were :-)

    Alas the world has past me by. People now want a basic instruction 
they can read and understand. Come to think of it that is how College 
level books are written. Strange?
