Hey Mark, this mini-tutorial idea is really cool...but looking at the index of your book, it'll be very hard to pick something for the tutorials... ummm... I guess the main thing that scares everybody of MEL is the programming ... maybe you can do a series for people who have NO idea about programming and little steps that will guide them more into it. Soon enough, they'll buy the book too Me? I would love something like that... I would also buy your book but I want to get pretty good in C/C++ first and then I'll start thinking about MEL... (right now I'm sitting in my C++ class and as you can see, I'm very productive ) -Emo
