Humourous typo: Near the last page "online assembler" should be "inline

Ha ha, now that's some involuntary humor. Thanks, Don! Also thanks for
the patches that make the code in the book work :o).
Off topic, but one day a few years back, I did a quick hello world CGI
program in assembly just for laughs: http://arsdnet.net/cgi-bin/a.out
That's awesome :)
It really is, the code is really elegant too!
Speaking of things being implemented in unlikely langauges, ever see the
high-precision PI computator written in MS batch?

I love the name of the site, it just screams funny.
You'd be amazed at how many web people were freaked out by the very idea!
Considering most of the "web developers" I've had the misfortune to work
with, you'd be amazed just how unamazed I am at those reactions ;)
Same here, the worst code and "developers" I've seen were at jobs I had,
from people straight out of computer science. I've seen code so
backwards it made me want to bash my head on the nearest wall to ease
the pain :)
