    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift.

    That is why they call it the present.

    I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code

    People say that if you play Microsoft CD's backwards, you hear satanic things, but that's nothing, because if you play them forwards, they install Windows.

    I spent a minute looking at my own code by accident. I was thinking "What the heck is this guy doing?"

    Earl...you win!

    The ad was also in Circuit Cellar in February 2001, which would have been an acceptable answer as well.
    This contest closed. Thanks for playing!

    Cheers, PPF

    Oh man when the ad said due out the first quarter of 2001, that totally threw me off. Bummer.
    Congratulations Earl!
