.... and that's how I learned.  I learned the answers, yes, but that also 
instilled in me a want to learn more.  I am slowly absorbing more knowledge and 
learning Morse code too... right now, I've not a lot of time for learning, but 
when I do, I really enjoy it.  I'd like to get my General class license by my 
birthday this next year (27 August).
