document.write( "-i regret to tell you i can't send you the picture of the graph. Now my question is, how did they take that information and place it into the graph? I await your answer with great anticipation. Also i ask that you to explain it to me as if i was a five year old -no offense to you it's just my mind is slow to accumulating information quickly- Thank you again!
