So far I have recieved only two entries in
The Describe Comp.Protocols.Tcp-Ip.Eniac Contest
1) ENIAC and clones, real world connections.
2) Discussions of protocols using vacuum assisted dead machines
Come on people. You aren't really trying. Remember that the winning
description will be submitted for inclusion in the Usenet group

You aren't really trying. Like not enough entries or not enough originality? Me, I like #2. It has verve and spirit and a certain... something. Probly 5 or 6 french words would describe it but hey, I just do hardware. Dave -- 99 /\ 9 9 /**\ 99 \**/ 99 \/
