Bruce, I have trouble getting to the grocery store one day a month.  If 
I could have the name of the right book and a place to download it, I 
could and would do that.  Also I have to live so spartan, that each 
dollar is precious, and I don't even love money.  Give me your best book 
idea, I will purchase it on credit whatever the cost, and do as you 
say.  And thanks for all the help you have given me and the excellent 
advice.  I get so much, I can't take it all.  But this one keeps popping 
up and even if I can't get to the library, it makes sense to purchase on 
credit.  If something breaks on my computer, I can't afford that either, 
but somehow I get what I need so I can continue.  I will treat this like 
a broken monitor, something I can't continue without.  Just one book 
though at first, that way I won't have to make a decision.  I trust your 
opinion completely.
