Craig,

I think you mean Cerfboards, not decoder rings. These can be used to escape
alligators in the swamps, entangle sausage nets and even fry fuzzballs. Vint
can tell you TCP is a mouthwash sold in Britain and what cooks in a bakeoff.
Nevertheless, I don't think any of the older buzzards in the Internet coop
ever thought you could buy TCP-IP with a credit card, much less a Cerfboard.
Lest we forget Premier Buzzard Bob Kahn, you should know there is a pawnshop
in Wellington, New Zealand called the Kahn Store, where you just might find
a better bargain.
