But the problem is, you can't *stop*. For example, I read the first fork's section. I'm doing it again right now.There were six pages of text, but now I'm on page 31 of what seems like an endless bunch of quizzes, and if I stop now I have to go back to square 1. I can't get back to where I am now. It is not so valuable to take all the fork quizzes in one tiring sitting - it would be much better to do a few each day. But, this is set up to be all or nothing. My eyes are glazing over ... I am trying now to step through it, but what's really frustrating is I don't even *get* the "Next" button until the audio is done on some of these pages (105 and 112 and 118 to name three...) ....still stepping through, on page 125 with no end in sight.... oh OK I see what you mean, that took me through five quizzes. There wasn't really any way to tell when one stopped and the next started. Is it going to be the same in all of the sections, that there is not text in between the quizzes - or are some lessons text interspersed with quizzes?
