 OK. I guess I gotta come clean now. I'm actually a West Texas
roughneck, incognito. When I first started seeing ads for "Pentium", I
thought it was a computer *game*. The first time I ever sat at a
keyboard was mid-95. I just happen to believe that no matter what it is
you do, knowing how "it" came to be is important.
