i've forwarded your request to SP9SS (i may be missing an S in there
somewhere) for their immediate attention. they assure me it will be taken
up at the next special session of the central committee.

personally i think binary is passé. i'm waiting for processors that are
base "some large prime" -- preferably one that i can change on a whim. i
think this class of modulo-large-prime processors would make systems very
safe at the expense of a little work on the assembler every time the base
changes. perhaps UoL and RTU should start preparing students for this next
chapter in computing and help students avoid being SoL landing a dream tech
job with a BBTC (big-behemoth-tech-company)
