My thanks! It has been literal decades since I visited Dayton, and that was for the aircraft museum... my ability to read has been curtailed but at least I enjoy reading again, which is a huge plus, due to that I am unlikely to be a customer. But my *memories* are still intact and the time spent in other lands and eras are well remembered. I do agree with Pournelle that short stories or the pre-1960's short novel is the right format for a movie or shortened telenovel and Weapons Shop of Isher would be perfect for either format... so many good stories out there that could benefit from a wider audience, it does make me wonder why we keep getting the same old formulas again and again.
