Ah ha, *not* transcripts, the recorded conversations between Vlad and a "shiny contraption with presumed ears at both ends" . (Dragon, paperback, Chapter 1, "Memory is like a Watchacallit", pgs 15-16.) Heh, we never got to see that picture of Steve with a shiny contraption. The conversations would have to be translated into English, typed up, the missing parts would have to be made up and the whole would have to be written into book form. It would sort of work out the same way if you have Vlad's voice in your head. Translate and type up the ideas in your head, make up the missing parts to make it seem like you knew what you were doing from the beginning. You do not have to translate from another language but then you have to come up with all the ideas yourself. Much harder. Bye. Linda G.
