I hastily responded to this with some invective of my own.
I wish to publicly apologize because I was just a bit hasty.
Dr. Reed is a principle contributer to networking as we
know it now, in particular, UDP. He is also known for
"Reed's Law," which points out a problem with the
scalability of large networks.

Of course, none of this means that he is right or wrong
about port 0x80 on these crappy Wintel machines.


Cheers,

Hmmm, I gave you every opportunity to back off your pretense
of writing code for the IBM/PC before it existed. You insisted
upon continuing your diatribe. You are the one with the attitude
problem. FYI, the last COMPLETE BIOS I wrote is on-line at:
http://www.AbominableFirebug.com/Sources/pbios.zip
It was written seven years ago. The first one I helped write
was written 36 years ago. I do know something about this stuff.

Who has attitude problems here?  I have indeed learned a lot about assholes.
