	I have to disagree with you. It was the CRC which answered your
question (albeit indirectly). The computer only helped you to communicate.
In my opinion, if you can find the answer yourself you should do that
without asking the net. Imagine what would happen to net traffic if every
small query (for some data available in Handbooks) is posted.
