I'm actually a simulated composite identity running under Lisp 1.5 on 42 PDP 11/70s tied together with 3 Mb/s XNS cabling. My user interface was recoded in Tcl by John Ousterhout in 1993. I've recently upgraded my sense of humor node with a 486/66 running FreeBSD (bonkers.neosoft.com), using a pirate copy of the Larry Wall simulation in Perl. I've never been quite the same since trying out Satan 1.1.1. I think I might have left Perl 5.000 installed... -- Peter da Silva (NIC: PJD2) `-_-' Bailey Network Management 'U` 1601 Industrial Blvd. Sugar Land, TX 77478 USA +1 713 274 5180 "Har du kramat din varg idag?"
