In other words, you can only use a tool in the restricted way that was originally intended. If that's what you are saying, then I should probably not be using my computer to read and reply to your email, to say nothing of using a computer to assist in the study of Chinese medicine. Of course, the world is full of examples of technologies being used in ways they were not originally designed for. Rory -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
