That's funny. Around the OU campus there are still an awful lot of 
//e's and c's in operation. The //e is especially popular with the
psych and engineering people for doing A/D stuff. Mentioning the GS
using brings a giggle or two. I really don't want to start a flame
war. You're entitled to think what you want, but you present your opinion 
as fact. There are many of us who feel that the GS has brought the //
line to ruin.
