Have to say that, back sometime around the early 1990s, which I was 
voluntarily teaching a small course for EE students in preparing demos 
and graphic displays on the Mac using QuickBasic (or was it Real Basic?) 
I bought Tufte to see what it might have to tell me the graphic of data 
and computed results -- and decided it had nothing really useful to say, 
was as over-hyped as it was empty of meaningful content, and discarded 
it.

Maybe I should look again . . .
