Nope. You are woefully out of touch. The tools we have now can be used to

are definitely numbered. We don't need to and it is far too expensive to
do
so. Who codes in assembler any more? No need to. Why don't we? It's the
same
argument.

But My Way is right. Those young whippersnappers who don't see
things my way will suffer for their heresy.

Not sure if you're aiming that at me or at Judson, Howard :-)

If at me, all I can say is, while I firmly believe what I wrote, I don't
see it as Holy Writ and I certainly wouldn't want to punish anyone who
disagrees.

(Except maybe that Gunshannon guy who doesn't believe in positronic
brains... yeah... we'll put him on the list...Linux lover... he needs to
be cast into the Lake of Fire... Come the Day.... mumble... rant...)
