In my last article, I slightly screwed up.
A signed 32 bit fixed point number, with two places of precision (less
than you need when calculating things like interest and what have you,
but lets be generous) has a maximum representation of even less than I
off the cuffed -- a mere 21,474,836.48. This is hardly sufficient for
accounting. However, floating point is even less useful.

A collegue of mine is taking a position where he will be recommending
secure communications technologies to various big money clients.
He asked me if I could drum up some contacts for him.
Do you have a fact sheet on Piermont I might give to him?
He could be in a position to generate significant business for a
consulting firm which really knew the ins and outs of strong encryption.
I'd also be interested for my own reasons.

This was not meant to go to the list, sorry everyone.
