>Speaking of Puritans and 1600's -- Neil Stephenson's latest book Quicksilver has a hilarious and I guess more or less historically accurate take on that. 900+ pages of great yarn and chuckles... What a crazy time period that was, what with the 30 year war, Black Death, the forever shifting alliances, the tremendous advancement in scientific discovery and
alchemic nonsense.Thanks for the recommendation, Pertti. I just might pick that up.
The only problem I have is with those last two words. I once exchanged a couple of e-mails with Gary S. DeWitt. He's written for Advisor a number of times and his bio line always seemed to include the phrase "Senior Software Magician". I mentioned to him that I always thought of myself as a "Software Alchemist", turning bits into gold. So I don't know if I should be offended by those last two words.:-)
