John,
What a great perspective, and insightful, concise observation which
you have put into words. You have hit the nail on the head, if I dare
say so. Thank you. The Newton, indeed, was visionary to say the
least. It truly boggles my mind to fully appreciate how "forward-
thinking" the Newton was at the time. The irony is .....it still
is!
