an interesting side note on Newton's Optiks (sp?)...when he first broke
light up in a prism he counted 7 colors (adding indigo - where we now
count 6, leaving that out) because he was convinced that the 7 colors
would corrispond to the 7 notes in the musical scale.
	many interesting possibilities there....
