Hmm
Ruben is spelled with an 'E', unless you want to use the Hebrew derivitive Reuvain, which has a different 'e' and an 'a' and an 'i' which is actually Rash, Alef, Vov, Vase Non.
Was there any particular point which you disagreed with specifically, or was it just a kneee jerk, Microsoft protectionist instict on your part which made you waste so much time making a rectangle in ASCII?
BTW - how is your Baby sitting business doing Jordan? And did you ever find the train going in the correct direction that day from the 59th street station? Just asking, because we nearly split our sides open in laughter when those subway doors closed on you that day.
I think that was a day you had maybe 1 too many Coors.
In any event, if they want to put my picture on their book because of my small, but essential insight into Microsofts misuse of it's (and screw it, I just feel like spelling it this way) desktop monopoly and anti-competitive practices, I'd be very happy as long as they read my licensing agreement. After all, I believe in the principle that it doesn't matter what they say about me as long as they mention me. All publicity is good publicity!
