Yes, AmiExpo treated me well. We had a very good response from the crowd and
from distributors. I made a wonderful series of contacts for future products,
too. I'm back at work! I'm working on the Silver module full time now. It is
next on deck. I wish there were more of me. I have another programmer working
on our next product that might move out at the end of next month, at the same
time as Silver. Harriet is working on new Intuition stuff, too. It was good
to see all the CIS pholks again, too. For those of you not in LA, SYSOPS Steve
Ahlstrom, Larry Phillips and GreG Tsidalis (sp?) all made it to the show. I
saw Bill Leach and Ben "CoComm V31.75a" Blish, too. Did anyone hear the final
gate count? I heard a rumor that someone was printing fake badges with a laser
printer, and scalping them outside…

Maybe you should have an auto-incrementing version number in CoComm, that
hot-patches the version number every time you run it, interpolating the number
to be what the version number would be, if you had been downloading the version
of the day, as you've been posting. Got all that? 🙂
Unfortunatly, due to the ever-increasing effect of gravity waves upon the
numeric inertia of the fractional part of the version number, linear
interpolation does not yeild an accurate version number. We have developed a
process whereby the version number can be accurately calculated, but
unfortunatly, this process strictly requires the use of a 68030 and a 68882
working in tandem, with a concomitant sacrifice of an Intel processor. We're
working on it, John, have faith in us. –Ben–
That's because your interpolation of gravity waves doesn't take
into account the number of nutrinos times the first prime number consisting
of 8 or more digits divided by the old version number factorial. If you
had bothered considering these facts…it's a piece of cake!
I understand now (Hitting self in head) Time for a new feature! –Ben–
Right, but he's already got an update to the interpolation program. It's
in DL8. 8)

Oh that sounds like fun! Do you have to actually own the
sacrificial InSmell processor or can it be on someone elses system?

Any one you can get to will do. They have no personality, since they are
simply hive minds – hundreds of 8008's running in series/ parallel, at 2
GHZ. –Ben-s
Ah…. I thought they were matrixed 4004's?
Rick
No, no no. See, Rick, and _8008_ is matrixed 4004's.. !!! –Ben–
Well, then, if an 8008 is matrixed 4004's, and an 80386 is matrixed 8008's,
then by definition an 80386 is matrixed 4004's! Least common denominator, Ben!

Rick
Then, by definition, you're iron, potassium, etc. LCD, as you say. –Ben–
I thought the 386 was eight 4004's in parallel… Just think, your average 386
machine could control up to eight washing machines!
John….when could I expect to see your objects? (Or maybe I should ask, how do
I access my personnal account?) I expect to be able to beta test the new much
speedier Silver around the first of FEB…………..Louis
I just need to upload them to you. I was tinkering with Silver objects,
making big objects, and I was surprised how big they can get. So RSN.
Maybe even today. They will appear in your Easyplex mailbox, and you
download them from there. It's all menu driven after you say "go
easyplex".
John:
Of course it would have to do an occasional double increment!

Anyone ever tell you that your partner is A LOT better looking than you are?
Tell her I said Hi, it was nice to meet her in L.A. Wow, as intellegent as she
is good looking (and that is definately saying something).
Yes, Harriet is intelligent and gorgeous. She's Phi Beta Kappa in computer
science from Rochester, NY. I swear on a stack of RKMs she knows more
abuot Intuition than the pholks who wrote it. She beta tested the
Programmer's Suite and found dozens of bugs, she gets calls from Mackraz to
find out what she wants in the next revision of Intuition. Amazing. That's
why I hooked up with her, I thought she was the best. I teach her about
real C, she teaches me about Intuition.
Wait, I didn't caught that crack about *my* looks… She's working in my
booth, right? You think she works with me for my brains? 🙂
I'd like to second that. <grin> She certainly is one of a rare breed.

Ben:
You both missed the decimal point (V317.5b) 🙂 73, bill
