Hi David,

When you say "no coding", you mean the system allows you to paste text and graphics/pictures right into it and you only have to provide what - "topics" or "names" or "concepts"?  Also, is it something that can be used by someone who is not online, though presumably they will
need a browser of some sort?  The default browser is not IE I hope, or did Gates rope Apple in on that too.  175 M$ investments should only entitle so much!  I've encountered several things on my Mac that open IE by default, and against my wishes.

I lose track, but in the past day or so, someone suggested that "the Book" should be in HTML.  Is this what was being referred to.  It may have even been you David.

Thanks for the info and insight,

Joe Wilkins

PS  --  How's the speed of this thing?  Particularly if it contains graphics.  I trust it is not as slow as some of the Websites.
