Well, at least the eighth-bit characters went away, along with the
interminable one-man thread about /etc/services and inetd. I'm
willing to live with the inscrutable joke. But if somebody has an
explanation, I'd love to hear it. Isn't a "sphygmanometer" (or
something spelled almost completely differently) the name of the
device they use to measure blood pressure? Or is that altitude? And
is 2 o'clock high or low?
