Funny, Crzy. But someone went to a lot of trouble to match up a bunch of "coincidences": One other way we write W is V/ (VI), so .... ? Who writes W as V/? I know some languages don't have a W in their alphabet, but they will generally have V, which they spell "V", not "V/". Also, when they add up the "ascii values" of BILLGATESIII, they discard the spaces. But when they add up MS-DOS 6.21 (77+83+45+68+79+83+32+54+46+50+49 = 666), they use up all 11 characters, including dash, space, and dot. Oh and BTW, the last version of MS-DOS prior to Win95 was 6.22, and the current MS-DOS command set in Win95 is "MS-DOS 7.0". Also, I'm wondering how the "ascii values" of "I" and "5" could both be 1? Ascii is simply a series of 7 binary bits, with each position either 0 or 1 (of course, since it's binary). Been awhile since I studied ascii (like 11 years -GG-) DK
