I'll answer you on the tapes a.s.a.p., but the cost is terrifying!
I was afraid of that. But I'm not padding what it cost me, believe me. I'm probably undercutting myself some. I have a sneaking suspicion that you didn't realize quite how many tapes were involved [g].
I think Miles would like your assessment a great deal [g]. I do have to disagree with you about Aral at least, if not Cordelia. You'd pretty much have to be a genius at least some of the time to pull off seventeen years of being Regent of a place like Barrayar without making at least something of a mess of it.
I'm inclined to go with Professor Vorthys' assessment of what genius is, anyway. I don't think anyone's a genius all the time. Even Miles [g].
