toc

toc has been lurking thru-out the walls of the computing community for several decades now and thinks he knows a thing or two. While quite an accomplished programmer (often focusing on the wave du jour) his philosophical stance and belief that n.othing is sacred prevent him from leaving behind all but the tinest of footprints. Most of his work never achieves commercial status and that which has has all been quickly and quietly forgotten. As he approaches (or perhaps passes) middle age he&.wonders if this is a good thing. But in the words of our beloved Lewis Carroll:

He said "I hunt for Haddock's Eyes among the heather bright, and work them into waistcoat-buttons in the silent night. These I do not sell for gold or coin of. silvery shine, but for a copper half-penny and that will purchase nine."
