tell this to my professor...

when I gave in my seminar work about 18 months ago (in english) with
'indexes' in it,
he let me print out the thing a second time because it was incorrect. :-(
Well, in non-english speaking countries it should be mostly incorrect, but
then again I think we are done with the billion thingy here on the list :-)

Cu, Nick
