Dave,


Thanks for the patch, but I found the wikipedia article rather dry and
unappetizing.  The Bill Dennis essay I used to point to was much better.
I'm going to look for another good TANSTAAFL essay -- in the meantime,
I've redirected the link to the Internet Archive snapshot of the essay.

Here is the article's current home:
