Aside from one of my databooks that has pictures on the cover,  I can't say I 
have either,  though it's possible that I did and forgot.  There were times 
early on when I was starting to get to know that stuff that I momentarily 
considered the possibility of using some of it,  and I decided pretty quick 
that it just flat-out wasn't worth the hassle.
