[CW] Walter Candler

    Interesting. I do have a PDF of that book. The article in 
Morsum was by Bill Pierpont and gives him credit as did I. I 
often see articles on the web that seem to be copied (cant get 
the word for this).
     I am fascinated by the process of learning code. I suspect 
it is similar to learning to play a musical instrument: some 
people can see a piano and be able to play it within minutes 
while others take a lifetime. I recognize all the experiences  
that Candler describes.
