Greetings Al, Adam, List,

My thoughts went to Dr. Nininger also, but since he has already
recieved the honor, my next thought went to the man who's responsible
for alot of us having the knowledg we now have. What do you all think
of "Nortonite". I think it's time to put credit where credit is due.
That's about as "witt"y as I get.

thanx,
Steve
