I guess I'll have to give up flaming at where to put the braces.
Sincerely, thanx for setting those creeps strait [sic].

Hey, don't laugh! Ever see an Intecolor (ISC) 8001? It's got a mode
that writes at 45 degrees up or down (NE or SE)! Weird! Also write
vertical (for {Chi,Japa}nese) & backwards (for Farsi) too!
I guess I should say something about the C language in this article.
Q: What's George Orwell's favorite C statement?
A: ++good.
