    Nope. I am still economically-endangered - I am so poor that the church
mice I owe a pretty heavy vig of cheese to are beginnin' to send the Siamese
Cat Twins to collect ;)  I am a happy camper if the local foodbank gives me
rice, beans, bagels, veggies, fruit, coffee, organic crunchy peanutbutter and
granola trail-mix...

> I wonder how much they can squeeze onto a CD.
    Probably at the most a beginner's intro to Sanskrit with some
intermediate "tidbits" geared to Hindu studies and Indian culture.

orthographies reform, typographies blip-&-beep, slang flashes, stylistics warp.
