I agree with you that Ahmed considers historians to be multi-faceted translators of languages, digital code, and espcially those 18-19th Century documents. Mine were on microfiche, pale brown ink, copperplate handwriting style...and some in French. I am still recuperating. I also think historians translate ideas as well from the sources they read and Ahmed did not seem to be as focused on that point. Thanks for your comments.

I've got my site to a point that I like in Firefox, and IE is okay, but the MAC browsers continue to allude me.
