Not many people can talk 80 hours about anything . . . and that was just the RECORDED classes.
yes he achieved his goal of brevity. but i wouldn't try and rewrite it. and i don't think that you can read the book enough.

i think lynnblakegolf is bringing organization to his work. i love your idea of multimedia but it could cause deep divisions over the presentation of the material and/or the interpretation of it.
