Is this mitigated by activating Nabisco Express Forwarding? That would be really bad! You would almost immediately gain 300lbs if you enabled NEF! The path goes from process switched to almost 100% efficient switching path for the energy from the cookies, crackers, and other goodies directly to your fat cells. You have been warned. COS (Cookie Operating System) 14.5(T)XB7 should resolve that bug though and allow full pleasure with no path to the fat cells. DO NOT try to eat any cookies from anyone other than NaCisco at the same time though.

Must we now redefine nibbles bytes.
Re: Cisco to merge with Nabisco
Resellers beware- New distribution channels will be opened up, Girl Scouts will soon be seen offering byte-able cookies in blue-green boxes, door to door and in unlikely places! Stale inventory is not expected to become a problem even with the increased distribution.

I wonder how they're going to integrate Chips Ahoy into the existing Cisco lineup. Nabisco always used to advertise that Chips Ahoy has far more chips than any of the competing products. With new process techology, the entire box of cookies can be integrated into a single chip. This will improve eating performance to over 3 million cookies per second (CPS). Unfortunatly, there are still thermal issues that must be resolved so each package will contain a heat sink and fan that can be strapped to your head. Both chips and cookies will now be available in 6 wafers, with or without chocolate coating. To ensure quality, all cookies will be factory tested for opens or shorts in the chocolate layer. The new lineup of cookies will also incorporate BIST (built in self taste) to insure consistant flavor. CAD/EDA vendors are now rushing to update their software to incorporate constraint based routing for multi-layer chocolate and vanilla wafers. New firewall software will be able to convert web site cookies into real cookies so you can snack while you browse. -- JustThe.net - Apple Valley, CA - http://JustThe.net/ - 888.480.4NET (4638) Steven J.
