Everybody is missing the much more obvious qualifier. OK, maybe it's a trifle subtle, but look again at what Steven did _not_ say. Remember that Steven did write code once upon a time. I find it hard to believe that he would leave out one of the four two digit binary combinations by accident. 11 is there, as are 10 and 01. 00 is not. Ironic that, no? Casey And yes, I'm not saying anything explicitly on purpose.
