I remember reading that the Maya (or some other Native American people ?) had
a base-20 numbering scheme, using points and dashes to write numbers. In

        The IS folks want us to use Rumba Version 2.1 to gain access to the
     Hewlett Packard. We have an unlimited site license for Rumba. They
     want us to discontinue using WRQ Reflection for HP with NS/VT for Win
     95/Win NT because of costs, and support isssues. Rumba is the
     Corporate standard and is supported by the help desk.
        Any comments, problems, bugs reports etc. would be appreciated!
