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
