"Pretty scucum software" Should I be flattered? <confused> –Ben–
Ben,
That was a compliment, mispelled, but a compliment nonetheless. The actual
word is "Skookum", a Coast Indian word meaning strong or swift, often heard
in describing water that flows strongly, in a river (rapids) or an ocean
channel with a strong tidal action, where the word becomes 'Skookumchuk',
combining strong and water. This has led to the slang 'chuck' for the ocean.

Wow… I didn/t know Larry spoke Salish! I stand corrected. Anyway, tell me
more about this 'plastic thing' that will allow me to use that SCSI interface
in a ZorroII slot…. maybe I get to try out your "skookum" software yet!!
