- It is astonishing how many times you have repeated this "no CD-ROM"
- lie. I've had a CD-ROM on my Amiga for *months*, and my friends had them
- over a year before I did. Just because the *particular* software *you* want
- isn't available on CD-ROM doesn't mean there is "no CD-ROM." Your leaps of
- illogic make you a major contender for the 1996 Olympics.

- A little humor for all you wild and crazy logicians out there:
-
- The Marc Barrett Theorem
-
- (EXISTS x)(x) --> (FOR ALL x)(x)
-
- Proof:
-
- If it's true for one example, then (by the MB
- Theorem) it's always true. There are TONS of
- examples. Ask anyone.
