Ha! Smile...Dan you always have something geeky to say ;-))
Meanwhile I really would like to know the answer to the
question..."Transparency" in the PowerPoint world means printing on
plastic (that then projects on a screen for a presentation)...or
perhaps I don't know Power Point - ha!
And transparency can mean "see-through"... or "superficial"....
Does "transparency" in relationship to SignWriting mean that it can
be used in many ways? or that it is a flexible writing system? If so,
then Fernando explained it beautifully!
Val ;-)
