I have to second that. I graduated HS from Greenway High in Phoenix in 2000. And I remember finishing my Drafting coursework about 3 months ahead of schedule. So I asked that if I could help impliment a small scale Linux lab if I could run a Quake server off of one of them. We installed Slackware (the only distro that I had experience at the time, this was 98 ish?) on 6 older Pentium machines, and sucessufuly had it running on a few older Drafting Apples with the help of a conversion that we picked up on a site that we needed to replace the controler IC's mobo style. It was a bitch, but kept me entertained for about a month. Then I ended up playing Quake every morning for 2 months for 2nd hour:P
The one that I've got is "How to Draw Manga" by The Society for the study of Manga Techniques, no specific author.
ISBN: 4-88996-042-2
If you want a link to it on Amazon...
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/4921205000/ qid=1042307080/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-2666637-92471 48
They have like 6 volumes starting with the basic body's. Then Aparrel, then buildings, mecha, ect... it's shown me quite a few things. I used to not be able to draw and with a little practice and some tips that I learned in that book I'm thinking of starting a web comic.

I don't know the validity of this. But my friend mentioned that the US actually spured the "manga" craze over in Japan after WWII. Kinda far fetched because I thought that Manga has been around for a few hundred years, but his arguement was sound from what he told me. Something about that the US was trying to help re-build the economy over there so they came up with a relitavly cheap form of entertainment, comics. Which in turn spured their own style all of their own and you see it how it is today.
Again, I don't know the truth behind it but it's a nice story.

I used to work for an ISP, and what I used to hate was when you would ask what Version of Windows they were using... I would normaly get "Internet Explorer" or "Netscape". Then what would annoy me even more was when someone thought that they were using 2000 becuase they had ME... or they were using ME and thought that they had XP. It just got really annoying after a while because you knew that you could fix their problem but it would take you 3 minutes to just find out what OS that they were using... bleh.
It's not like many people know how to change the startup logo's for windows... and if they did they damn well would know what Version they had.
