     (...) 3,7,17 are all prime numbers - maybe that helps. lessee: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19.... Not any particular order in the way they're picked from that row, I think. Do you run on P60 w/bug, by any chance? Or it could just be binary/decimal conversion (...) (26 years ago, 14-Dec-98, to lugnet.publish)

   (...) *sigh* I can just hear my trig teacher laughing at me now since I must have told her a million times, "but Ms. Smith, who cares about math?

     (...) Yeah, I flipped through that one today - might pick it up after all. I usually think of the various O'Reilly's books as either reference books or more suitable for advanced users, and I'm definitely not advanced. Kinda disappointing to hear (...)
