Clancy"), who sat on the 802.3 committee in the early days. He lives in Princeton Junction and his office is in Trenton. He does database application programming and desktop publishing work. I learned a great deal from him and he always had great stories to tell. He worked at IBM and wrote parts of OS/360 MVT. He's an intensely intelligent man and an extremely competent programmer. I consider myself to be an extremely anal-retentive programmer, and I owe him for that. He worked hard to instill an appreciation for strict technical correctness in me, and that has guided me through my entire professional life and hobby activities. (which are, for me, pretty much the same stuff) I was 21, I think, when I left his company. We had a bit of a falling out, and we've not spoken since. Recently (as I've become more interested in IBM's older iron) I've had a hankering to get back in touch with him. He's getting up there in years...guess I'd better do that soon. :-/ -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL
