-
- I think you might try simulating some magnets on a plane, each having it's own
- positive or negative charge, after which a metal ball is hung above it (also si-
- mulated of course, hanging it above your screen wouldn't do much) which ithen is
- attracted and repelled etc. by the magnets. I saw it in the program called
- afterthe book 'Chaos'.

- I am!
