A crossover post

I don't see what the fuss is about. I have a few criticisms of Logos4, e.g. when I upgraded the info that you need a fast computer and preferably broadband was not conspicuous. I didn 't find it till I'd ordered. Fortunately I had a newish computer. I was annoyed when they said the worst case scenario for downloading was several hours, or something - mine was several days! The mega-downloads are a pain. Not to be compared to Adobe or Windows downloads, which I find cause no hassle. The help is not as helpful as it might be, but Customer Support and the forums make up for that. I've never done a computer course, tho I've learned from friends and experience to encourage my computer to do what I want it to. I honestly haven't had big problems with Logos4, which I now much prefer to L3. There are some things I haven't figured out. But anything I need works for me. I'd love to take part in a Logos camp, but it's not such a priority that I'd cross the Atlantic for it. (If you decide to do a camp in Europe, Mo, I'd be interested..)
I'm concerned that this and some other threads include posts which I would classify as character assassination or at any rate insulting. Could we perhaps aim at more Christian charity and try as far as lies in our power to live peaceably with all men (and women..). e.g.MJ shows positive encouraging suggestions where she could have written really harshly.

Read my profile too and you will see William is the smart kid.
This is a sensitive area for me to talk about. My father & brothers are math geniuses. I could never comprehend the subject and they gave up on me after I flunked the Trachtenberg System.Well, Thank you Matthew for that complement. I just looked at that Trachtenberg System and would have to study it a bit more to understand it. Just because you fall off the horse does not mean you should never get on it again. You have a second person that loves you. I love you as a brother in Christ. If you want or need math help....you or your family, or friends, I love to help.

Trachtenberg System
I have the book Dad bought when the system was first published - I would have placed that in the mid-50's but it may be a bit later. Dad would teach me to do math in my head while I followed him around doing chores - something he was doing several years before he found Trachtenberg, In case you think that is a bit of an unusual upbringing, my brother bought me a calculus book complete with solutions for Christmas when I was in the 4th grade. This is the same brother who taught me the Morris code, forgetting that I didn't read yet. Hey, I was only 4; I had an excuse. That's only the tip of the iceberg to what my much older brother and sister did to me with the best (?) of intentions.
