Jinn?
According to critics, an eavesdropper, constantly striving to go behind the curtains of heaven in order to steal divine secrets. May grant wishes.

What is SofCheck?
We Help You Build Quality In From Day One.The president of SofCheck, Tucker Taft, is brilliant. I saw him lead the team that designed Ada 95.
The name of his new company reminds me of SofTech, a company that was marketing the UCSD p-System, a long time ago. The p-System had a platform-independent virtual machine and modular Pascal compiler, which can be seen as an ancestor of today's Java environment. (My introduction to compiler programming was deep in the UCSD Pascal compiler's source code.) ![[this item]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0103811/images/sharpPermaLink3.gif){kind=small}
No Switch
Ellen switched to a PowerBook...I'm very happy with my iBook — all my Macintosh applications and Unix tools in a beautiful box! I started using the Macintosh in 1984 and Unix in 1986. First, I had been hooked into the UCSD p-System on Terak in 1981, year of the oldest archived Usenet message in Google Groups. Hmmm, so I've been programming for 20+ years (more than half of my life...).
