  Just delurking to comment that I really, really enjoyed that.  And it
cleared up some of the nonsense my 6 year old has been spouting about
math when I tell him "No, let's try it again." after he gets something
wrong.  The parent / teacher conference would have made a lot more
sense if I'd read that before.

  I wish you success with your software.

Yer gonna love the cartoons I found to add to that RSN:

Exasperated father hunched over books and paper with tiny child: "Do you 
have to bring your homework home!?"

Kids reading a word problem from their textbook titled "Way-New Math": 
"'Aunt Jane gives you four tickets to the New Kids On the Block Concert. 
How cool is that?'"

My favorite, father opening door to second-grade child coming home. The 
child is holding out a report card and saying, "You flunked math."

Gee, I hope you make a gazillion dollars.  The only problem is that if
you do, whenever someone argues with you in comp.lang.lisp, you'll
just point at the gazillion dollars and say, "Match that, then come
back and argue."

On the other hand, it might cut down on the CLL bandwidth....

When I was growing up, I found that the main argument against
laissez-faire, and for socialism, was that socialism and communism
were inevitable: "You can't turn back the clock!" they chanted, "you
can't turn back the clock." But the clock of the once-mighty Soviet
Union, the clock of Marxism-Leninism, a creed that once mastered half
the world, is not only turned back, but lies dead and broken forever.

Actually it seems the best way to do that is to ask you clowns for an 
opinion on domain names!!!!!!!!!!!! <sigh>

Not algebracadabra? Damn, that was supposed to be a joke, but... nah, 
there is a long tradition of crappy algebra software and crappy names:

AlgeBlaster, The Algebrator, Geogebra -- I still don't believe that one, 
and Dimenxian Algebra's first-person shooter with the tag "Learn ALgebra 
or Die Trying". We be trying to position ourselves a little more serious.
