I saw this too, (as I'm sure many others did) and I was more than a little
bit peeved, not so much at this guy because, well, idiots will be idiots
(or rather, ignorants will be ignorant).  What really peeves me is that
BYTE would let such garbage be printed in the first place... isn't that
what technical editors are for?

I'm sure Mr. Farnsworth has a head on his shoulders, I hope that next
time he uses it to do a little research before writing a loud letter.
