JM is getting boring. Nah... Monroy posts enough wacked out stuff that he is worth having around for sheer entertainment value.. I clearly remember the first time I heard of him... This was about two years ago before he ever attainted his celebrity status, before the 386 bsd groups etc.. He had posted something to comp.os.mach - it was this great philosophical epic about how the notion of "error" should be perceived by software engineers. He went into great parallels with completley unrelated subjects, and even propposed that his notion of "error" should go as far to completley re-architect the way computer hardware is developed.. I wish I had saved it... It was clear to me that good ol' J. Monroy got his hands on a rather good batch of acid, had a profound trip and proceeding to post in that condition. Never, never post when tripping, bad idea! -- Jim D
