Russ was right.  Software without "meat" is worth nothing.

Ready when you are!

On a totally different subject (I told you it was miscellaneous!):

And it's the height of ignorance to think that's what Congress was
considering.  What they was, we *WILL* build some MX's unless the
Soviets come back to the table.  It makes a big difference!

Maybe you should read a few Scientific American articles of a few years
back on subjects like how much firepower it would take to kill (I think it 
was) 50% of industry and 35% of population in the USSR?  Maybe you should 
read the recent Science article by Sagan et. al. on the data that went into 
their nuclear winter estimates?  Maybe you should GET STRAIGHT what 
Congress is doing before you criticize it?

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
