I would suggest that before you go correcting people that you do a little homework yourself. Carver Mead is indeed a man. I know that there have already been a few flames similar to mine posted to the net, and yes I know that this should probably be sent to you instead of being posted to the net, but Heh, face it John, you deserve it! Now feeling a little better, Daryl e-mail: ..\ucsd\dcdwest\schmoldt

Carver Mead is indeed a man. Amazing what happens by association. Carver Mead wrote a book on NMOS VLSI design with Lynn Conway. Lynn Conway is definitely of the feminine gender, and also suffers from being repeatedly treated as a he. *Irony on* After all, VLSI is a man's affair, right? *Irony off* ceb
