I think I'm happy.  Ok, what do you want to talk about?

BTW, I should mention that I discovered a material typo in my last post
where I incorrectly wrote the P - V relationship for the analogy of an
ideal gas undergoing a quasistatic adiabatic process.  I accidently wrote:

> ...  P = (const)*V^[gamma] for such a gas under adiabatic (a

I hope everyone realizes that I meant to write: P = (const)*V^(-[gamma]).
                 I needed a negative sign in the exponent here ^.
