For anyone else whose interested, I got the following courtesy of Karen
Nakamura's web page on American Sign Language:

That all being said, none of these resources will "teach" you ASL, although
the Lou Fant book might help you get an inkling of what the grammar is like.
Don't buy the ASL CD-ROM thinking that the QuickTime movies (which are arguably
very nice) will teach you ASL, it only has individual signs and does not deal
with the grammar in any way. Heck, it doesn't even bother teaching you how to
count to ten....
