WOW! Glad you're on my side ;) Ah the Z80, brings back memories Charles
Maury! No clever handle? What happened to Havok?
You know, this list says a lot about you. I'm afraid now.

Hey Maury, it's Seymour Cray, not Seymore Cray

What, no Groupware? ;-)
Funny that I just read that List of nuclear accidents page last week and only just now noticed that you're here and contributed to it. I should have known...
-Nick 3/11/04
I've made some changes to the SABRE w/u; please see discussion page.
Hope that's OK, I think it would be a good idea if we discussed any further changes to the piece before making any further big changes. You're obviously making a great contribution; it's a difficult piece to write really, the available information is complex and probably contradictory.
