In an age when atoms rather than bits ruled the world, I listened to Prof. Mattuck in 10-250. At long last one knows why the words inscribed on MIT's building 10 (and 7) always use "V" for the letter "U". It never made sense that English words would use a Latin alphabet! (Happy belated beaVer Day.) Anyway, it's comforting to know that Templar riches can be tapped if Sugar Labs ever runs short of funds. - Ron <silliness mode="off"> _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
