Now now, Svejk--

Many of us have been proud possessors of the IVXR/VXTK investor packet for some time now. My own favorite line from tihs particular contribution is:

"If we eliminated 20 million lines of code, we would charge between $1 and $2 per line of code that we eliminate."

Just consider the possibilities for FBN ASCII/DELETE!!

Josef,

My favorite line in the link you provided is:

"And this is all because early computer programmers, in the interest of keeping programs as short as possible, chose to abbreviate the year as a two-digit number in computer code."

LOL! Yeah, we really strive to have "short programs", and the length of the individual data records does not matter one whit! HeeHee

PS. Do you think TED would give each of us one of those "2nd user" corporate credit cards like he so willingly gave to Janice?
