	RAAHHHTT ONNNN! We don't need no steenking Computer Science!
Realtime programmers am us!!!

	Seriously, Bill, it seems to me from my admittedly worm's-eye
view that about 66% of Comp Sci is parser and expression theory. Forth
ain't got no expressions. We are right and the rest of the world is
wrong, now get with the program, dude!!!
