Hello Bob,

I don't think I've ever had anyone address me as SIR RAY but I understand
where it comes from. 8)

SIR, 8)

I have a rule of thumb that IF I gamble at all then I will only spend $100
and no more. I know the games are slanted to the house of course and my luck has
never been good at that sort of thing so I spend my money on other foolish
endeavors but at least the memory is better than that of pulling a lever.

You probably will find Erdos book a good read about Erdos, and
probably WITHOUT any of his asymptotic theorems for which he is
much better know.  :-)

Which is exactly why I'm going to buy the book.

Take care sir,

Ray
