And, just to put the record straight, I'm not a math guru by any measure and had no involvement with the development of chaos theory. I merely read about it and did some experiments on the Amiga. I do, however, enjoy math and plan to write a blog entry about that subject in regards to electronics and programming. Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

You present an extremely unique talent that many full-blown masters-degreed, registered-professional engineers struggle to emulate. The small segment of your life trip I had the pleasure to witness provided an enormous boost to my career, and I have profited immensely from what you taught me and how you inspired me. This was not only at a technical level, but at a deep personal and philosophical level as well... it was from you that I first learned (among other awesome things) of the existence of the original Apple computer, and thus departed disco L.A., the only town I'd ever lived in, to seek cosmic fortunes in the oceanward periphery of The Valley of Silicon. We never looked back. You never were a geek... you always are that sophisticated rock star that actually understands exactly how the music goes in and out, from the microphones to the speakers. You are also a brilliant math guru that produced the enlightenment that eventually evolved into chaos theory. You are a professional master of Boolean logic (and other logic as well). I sorely miss you these wild days, and dearly hope for the bright day we will corroborate on another cool project again.

I hope it finds its way to many readers who will find it useful. Congratulations on this endeavor Shannon. I hope it finds its way to many readers who will find it useful.
