You know, I hear this piece of wisdom so often -- "do your charts by
hand" -- that I wonder if it shouldn't be on Walt Downs' list of success
factors. Even though I've been a computer user for 35 years, I remember
when you had to plot stuff by hand; Calcomp time was reserved for the
really important projects, etc. Bridges I drive over were designed with
slide rules. So how do I put hand-drawn point and figure charts on my
web page? :-)
