a couple have written privately to save me embarassment with respect to my
failure to select a screen resolution (the request is *clearly* displayed
at upper left) on csound frontpage. i'll broadcast it anyway.

have never run into a request displayed on a page that was in itself a
window to a functioning site -have usually encountered a clear prerequisite
for entrance to main site. though the site is quite wonderful, the book
pages informative, and i suppose MIT is paying the bills, my guess is that
unless the layout is modified, thousands will follow in my (lacking) mouse
clicks. simply monitoring hits for a couple of weeks should prove or
disprove. though i have now soiled such a potential study with this tip-off.

here again is the url.

i *do* appreciate MIT's contribution.
