Omigod, imaginary numbers never made any sense at all to me. I was thankful
that I didn't have to make my living using that stuff. Accountants use their
own version of that technology and I'm glad you brought that up because I'll
have some fun with the analogy. Thanks. /jmac

I had a nasty shock :-) when I found that this stuff was going to occupy
about 30% of my electronics degree course. Fortunately all the bullshit and
black magic (plus ,of course, the imaginary numbers) came in useful in
later life as an accountant!
