Sounds great. I would like to take a seminar with teachers who actually
DO this stuff. But...

Their web page is terrible. It is the worst-presented one I have seen
in a long, long time. Mega-sized image files. Took 20 minutes to view
just the home page on my dialup connection, and I was disappointed in
the end. And...if the same guys wrote the books as composed the web
text, I would not buy them. 

BUT the idea is intriguing!
