    Night at the Races - All in Fun

    I wuz just thinking how much fun it is, watching FoBoT vs JTrinkle, when along comes a just-as-good, maybe-even-better show: Chinasaur vs Richard Clyne! They are dukin' it out.

    Grab a seat, bet on yer favorite, and watch the fun! ...heh, while rackin' up yer own points, of course...

    Angus:
    I started my summer job last week, I will probably be adding my computer and see about leeching off any coworkers. I suggest you stay on your toes for the next four months.

    Yikes ... you said 26?
    Unless they each have the computing power of a cheap digital watch I'm dead. Our lab probably has enough boxen to match that but unfortunately most of them are dedicated to fragile test environments which I doubt I'll be allowed to play with.

    Richard Cline just nosed out Chinasaur for the title of "First to a Million". A close race!

    Way to go, both. Virtual beers all around! Place your bets on the 2nd million now.

    Pointwood, here's a little something in recognition of your neverending recruiting efforts.
    Don't stop trying! Just don't make an ARS out of yourself.

    Perhaps 'people' is a bit of an overstatement........
