Ok, I'm being driven batty. Trying to create popup-menus (ie. button3 press, and a menu appears).

There have been a few postings in the past on alleged pathological (esp. neurological) conditions induced by playing video games (e.g. Nintendo).

This is, shall we say, an overly-broad statement. In particular, are you referring to the native American culture that existed in 1400, or the one that existed in 1800?

It's pretty complex, and Cd isn't the whole story either. Cd for cars is usually calculated based on the frontal area of the car. So a large car with a good Cd could get the same drag force as a smaller car with a poorer Cd. To calculate drag use this formula: D = 1/2 * rho * v^2 * Cd * S Where D is the drag fo...
