- I found the EE Times article entertaining enough: I especially liked the
- table of space-related apps centered in the text. I don't know about the
- author's stack usage, though. After mentioning the parameter and return
- stacks, he goes on to say that "words communicate via the stack, obtaining
- input (from parameter) and leaving behind the results of the operation
- (return)." Gee, I've been leaving results on the wrong stack!! :-) ;-)

- If FIG has really received this many new member sign ups related to this
- article, perhaps they should try placing a single ad in EE Times before
- it's impact is lost: it is possible the new dues would pay for such
- advertisement. If I were a vendor I would consider this as well, although
- I'd probably have to weigh this against eating... -sigh-
