HA HA HA! (That's longhand for "LOL" :) Touche! I knew I would likely
misspell something if I put that bit in there - but I also prepared my
defense in advance: as you can clearly see, my mistake above is a typo,
rather than a misspellling - i.e. "through" is spelled correctly, it's just
the wrong word. :->
In case it wasn't obvious (I can't tell for sure from your response) I was
joking when I said SW is free. When I was in grad school, supposedly doing
"original research", someone following me around all day would have thought
my job was "computer programmer" - I spent 10% of my time reading papers and
cooking up my auditory modelling theory and 90% of my time trying to write C
code to implement and test it...
In my experience, the only people who really think SW is (more or less) free
have never written any.
