Alex (or anyone) -
What would the 5 lb. weight consist of?
I can't seem to get past the dumbbell thought this morning.

Programming isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. It has a steep learning curve like math. One day your trying to figure out 1 1, then the next day they throw x and y at you. Once you understand what x and y represent and learn to think in terms of functions, it's as easy as pi. - sciguy125 [more]
