"...seems we can't educate anymore unless we throw in a large dose of "fun" to make it all go down a little easier." I thought Heleanor made a good point that poeople had been using "entertainment" techniques to enhance education for centuries. Perhaps it is a matter having lost THAT ability recently, rather than the ability to educate without entertainment? Is there something wrong with making education entertaining? Loosen up a bit, and lose those puritan values :) chris dill - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C. L.
