> Arrrg... all the things 1st grade teachers teach you that end up having to be untaught.... you can't add negative numbers. you can't divide by a number larger than the one being divided. you can't take the square root of a negative. arrg. of course, my first grade teacher didn't teach me anything, but that's another story...
