"and what I couldn't read on my own I looked up in a dictionary"

That's a very strong statement. I cannot read German, I bought a gun book written in German, and tried to read it via dictionary. That does not work. But I am poor in language anyway, so probably it's easy for others. For non-Latin language, how to lookup its dictionary need some training by itself.

Back a few years ago, this thing was $600-$700. Getting it work could be a project. I mean, just to throw bullet out, where the bullet flied was not even a major concern, too luxury. Not an easy project. Lots of fun.
