Tommaso, <<A college student whose parents are paying $30,000 a year could get exactly the same results as a literature course by spending about $15 at a used-book store>> 10k of that goes for room and board, so, count $10,015 for the book.-g- << I paid about $850 then and the same equipment still costs about $850, a decline in real terms of maybe 75%.>> I understand much of optics is made in Japan these days. What do you look at? Joe
