And "Travels with Samantha" is a hoot. His coding style is very similar
to his writing style -- lispish. But, then again, he's an old-hand MIT
LISP hacker. You should read his tcl one day -- I've laughed till I've
cried over some of his code. (I don't know if that's more of a
statement about his coding style, or about my reading habits.....)
Philip is certainly an interesting writer.
Oh, BTW, Bruce, "You're Welcome."
