I agree. Actually, for a while my signature line (before I get permission to quote James) was, "MPE - To the Millennium and Beyond!!" which I attributed to the fictitious "Buzz Oughtyear". I dropped it because I was pretty sure I was misspelling "Ought" (for zero) - should it be "Aught"? No one ever told me.
