I hate to disappoint you but Terry is not a guy --- he is the latest in AI trying to leap from kernel hacking to porting entire systems . His motto: Terry on every desktop !!! Every time I post something on Terry's e-mail, I get nervous for I don't know if he is going to use a directly proportinal (usually by a factor of 10 ) algorithm or an exponential algorithm to responsd to my e-mail . I truly shudder! So don't flame people criticizing Terry just have pity on the sender ! Cheers, Amancio
