Jean,

Thank you.  The copyright statements do NOT mean I don't want you to use =
the programs all you like.  To the contrary, please do.  My idea in =
making the copyright claim is I think some of this work may turn into =
marketable programs.  If so, I want to at least be in a position to =
prevent others from copyrighting and selling them, and leaving me out in =
the cold.  Please feel free use them and share them all you like.

I agree it is OK to "NOT KNOW."  The whole adventure is in the getting =
to know.  I occurs to me, being a divorced, retired, empty-nester, I =
definitely have a life more conducive to digging into this stuff than =
most harried teachers.  Still, every day I learn more things about it.  =
It seems almost bottomless.  I'm happy to share what I've discovered so =
far.

--Jeff

  Jeff,

    What a program!   I am not sure I would use it as my kids program, =
but it is a wonderful way to have all the commands in front of the kids =
all at one time.  Also I will be teaching teachers this summer so I am =
not sure of there needs.  I noticed the copyright on the project, does =
that mean we cannot use it or show it to others for them to use?

    I really enjoy learning from you, I know I will never know as much =
about MW, and yet I teach it???????  I personally think it is OK to NOT =
KNOW but to encourage my kids to fly off.  I thank all of you for being =
there when I (or others ) have questions!  It renews my belief in the =
goodness of people.   In the world full of abused and abducted kids, it =
is wonderful knowing there are people willing to help kids learn!  =
Recently our local police department has contacted the schools about all =
the bad people using the internet to harm children. I am proud to be =
able to show goodness of this internet group.   I know you do not =
directly deal with the kids but you touch the lives of many children =
with the help you offer!

  Thanks,

      Jean
