Yeah, there might be some psychotic graphics somewhere.

I'm not really familiar with the doc, since I only have seen it for a 
few hours.

I will try to create each chapter into its own PDF as a 
start.  Thanks for the suggestions.

It's only time, and -- I read this on a Celestial Seasonings teabag 
tag:  "When God created time, he created enough of it."  Not that I 
don't have a bunch of other ways I might want to spend the unlimited 
time I have.
