Me too.
I'd like to add my name to Roy's letter.
Oh, uhh, yea; me too. (I've already sent in a comment concerning the bizarre process of ANDing 8-bit numbers with 0x3500, but that should be taken as nothing other than a casual result of my reading the mail; I've made no commitments or entered into any sort of contractual agreement.)
I strongly caution IPG against using my name in their advertising.
I am sure that a company with as much Internet savvy as IPG realizes the degree to which using inappropriate attributions like that could backfire, given the propensity of some netizens to defend their reputations through every technological and legal means at their disposal. ______c_____________________________________________________________________ Mike M Nally * Tiv^H^H^H IBM * Austin TX * pain is inevitable m5@tivoli.com * m101@io.com * <URL:http://www.io.com/~m101> * suffering is optional
