To Jim Coleman: Nice try Jim. Since you were there for the moment, I'm
surprised you didn't mention placing a portable radio adjacent to the Radio
Shack computer. I often did, to "hear" the processor chew on a shell sort
routine. Now that I think of it, those sorts usually lasted overnight
anyway, so I don't know why I bothered listening to that deck of cards
being shuffled.
