Heh. Dave was one of the original u-u guys, attending meetings and 
debating Usenet issues back when Linus was in grade school and the FSF 
was sending out magtapes of Emacs. His UUCP site, 'tmsoft', with which 
my site telly had a high-speed (ie, Telebit) connection, was IIRC the 
only node  in Toronto (and one of the few anywhere) running Unix on a 
National Semiconductor 16032 CPU.**

My only surprise here was that Dave didn't know u-u was still around. I 
suspect he knows where to find them. ;-)
