I won't get into bits, bytes and all around statistics (I got a "D" in
statistics many moons ago, need I say more?), and my participation in this is
rather new - but given that the information being processed currently seems to
be in the March timeframe, we still have a ways to go before we catch up -
unless there's a lot of computers out there with nothing to do (like the two at
Neil's place in .za :)
