We can do that. All we need is a computer with voice-recording software and a few blank CDs. Piece of cake.

I mean, it won't be studio-quality sound, but it'll be fine for all practical purposes.

[balletrat]

That's all I need.

*Meg beams at him.*

Just don't make it sound too easy, or I'll feel stupid for being backwards and not being ableto figure it out on my own.

[stilljustandrew]

You know, I bet if I show you the basics you could figure out the rest on your own.

- well, *Meg says, a little doubtfully,* Cooper was teaching me about critical thinking -

[stilljustandrew]

Oh? Like what?

*Andrew takes another bite of sandwich and eyes Meg curiously.*

[balletrat]

*Meg shrugs.*

Just, tu sais, putting things together so that they make sense. Not jumping to conclusions. Logic.

*Meg has never considered herself to be very good at thinking.*

[stilljustandrew]

Logic's useful, *Andrew opines around a mouthful of sandwich.* So's intuition. Depends on the situation.

[balletrat]

Oui - I mean, I'm not talking about trusting my judgment, instincts or like that.

*She waves a vague hand, searching for the right words.* I mean - jumping to conclusions is different from instinct. It's - knowing when to read into things, and when not. Being able to follow along with complex arguments. Like that.

[stilljustandrew]

So, want to test out the theoretical on a computer program?

[balletrat]

Bien sur, *Meg says, and rises from her seat.*

I think I've seen enough of them by now that I'll at least know which keys to poke at -
