The iBook sounds really fascinating!  Hopefully, I'll own one one day.  By the
way, my web site, located at www.msstate.edu/~cs10, is up and running;
however, I am still adding things and making revisions.  I have provided a
guest book which I would like for all of you to sign after you have finished
navigating the site.  Any suggestions are welcomed.:)

Thanks tremendously,
