Re: Ha ha, of course I know you really meant "interpretive conduction inner join" Kevin: I think both you and TED may have missed it. During my Stairseed activation when the John Tesh music started I quickly punched in #666 and I was over the edge .. eer, boundary in no time at all. In fact due to the sudden acceleration to light speed, I was literally there before I left, relativity speaking. Also it was not an "interpretive conduction inner join", it was an n-way multi-dimension star join using bitmapped indexes. Hope this helps to clear up this misunderstanding. Regards Tom ps: He is also named after a fruit.

Kevin: Re: kudos ... Thanks so much for recognizing my exhaustive efforts in the SNOOZE area. I figured that, heck, most of the multi-tasking monitors have a "sleep" mode that one of the subtasks can invoke to allow other tasks a shot at the central processor ... so why shouldn't we provide a capability to give up just a little time, instead of a lot? I thought about calling it "NAP", but that conflicted with the pre-existing TLA for Network Access Protocol. Speaking of Mr. C.J. Date ... did you notice all the hullabaloo recently when Date, Codd, Kernighan, and Ritchie all got together and created a new language environment? It's called "Relationally Objective C Extended Technology" (ROCET). I was appalled to find out that a major computer manufacturer had sublicensed ROCET under the mistaken idea that anybody who names it something like that must be a rocket scientist. This new Starseed existence is quite interesting. I can sit here and stare at the second hand as it traverses the circumference of my watch, all the while comfort in the notion that each of those seconds in time is probably named for a fellow Starseed enthusiast. Kinda' brings us all closer together, you know? TED
