Tom, > Samual Morse was born today. Not precisely. It's Samuel, not Samual. And he wasn't born today. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code , Samuel Finley Breese Morse was born April 27, 1791. That's why my post said "Google's home page is celebrating Samuel Morse's birthday today". Even that should have properly been "Google's home page is celebrating the anniversary of ...", eh?
The visual image of the Morse code for the Google logo, split over two lines as is usually done on the Google home page, just didn't register for me today. I read the first line from left to right, then went to the second line. It's Monday, after all! Enough nits picked for today. ;-) Mike Walter Hewitt Associates "Tom Duerbusch" <duerbus...@stlouiscity.com> Sent by: "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> 04/27/2009 04:03 PM Please respond to "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: GGEOOL?
