There is sooo much information in this book that I don't have time to try all the neat techniques right now. I hope to come back to it someday soon. I didn't read everything--it's like a manual. I'm a person who actually reads manuals. Or I should say I skim manuals so I know what's in them. I wouldn't remember all the information, but I can remember that the info is IN THERE, so I can find it again.
