Ertem >Electrical Engineering Dept. <---- Where else would you expect anyway? *Sigh* Mathematicians think CS is engineering, while engineers think it is mathematics. The truth is, both paradigms apply. CS was still cross-disciplinary, last time I checked... My mistake was saying ``a computer context'' rather than ``the context of computing.'' -Ed Hall edhall@rand.org
