The computer science language turns everything numbers (1 and 0)
 Therefore, you must resignarte, AL Green:
There are a number that multiplied by another one is equal to  El Quijote. Undecided

Sooner or later, it had to happen

Al,

You know, your comment about book avaliability is a really good point, and one I'll have to think about.

P.S.  And Paul really has been looking for a copy of The Killing Star for a while now.  It's become like a quest for him.  Smiley  He hits all the used book stores; gives him something to do, I guess.  Smiley



Book availability may be a dying problem. Quite a few years ago the publisher John Wiley announced that all their books would remain in print because they were prepared to print a single copy if necessary to honour this promise. At that time they were going to use a service provided by Xerox to print low numbers of copies from the electronic master.
With electronic publishing you can download a pdf copy of many books for a fraction of the printed copy price as from www.lulu.com.

That's nice, because there's a few books I want to read that are out of print, and I'd rather not pay $100 on Ebay for them... XD  Though, while a PDF book would be nice, it's just not the same as having the real thing right there in your hands.   Wink

... Suddenly all authors will be writing to a formula....

That's like worrying if all artists will become impressionists...
