Kevin,

I have never seen or known anyone who has seen an "eBook" honestly.
I suppose I am really talking about an electronic xml/xhtml viewer with
multimedia capabilities. Most of my ideas come from the VRML style
of hypergraphics (please forgive my misnomatic misunderstanding):

http://www.web3d.org/TaskGroups/x3d/Web3D-W3C-Liaison.html

I have all the Java, C++, Delphi licenses. It is that in mid-stream, I
realized
I needed an embeddable language and it was suggested to me by a retired
Lockheed programmer that I should look at forth as a serious lang for my
VR projects.

I have considered joining the WWW 3D Consortium for years, but I did
not want to use a lang that would disable my creativity. Now, I do not
have enough code to be that involved. Personally, I am not such a genius
that I could disassemble anyone else's code. I have a hard enough time
with the code samples. Paranoia should be tempered with cold sobriety.
That way the fear is not so difficult to live in the predatory world of
survival.

The next World War, after The War on Terrorism, will be called
"The Great Code War" during the "The Age of Disilusionment."
