everyone who has followed my posts at _any_ time during the last 7 years would know that i would _never_ create an o.e.b. viewer-program. nor would i ever call such a program "an end-user presentation agent", or whatever technoidese that i wrote. little did i realize how long i would be laughing about that little in-joke. years later, it's still working its magic. but hey, you know what, maybe i _will_ start a sourceforge page for that thing. like so many other o.e.b. open-source efforts, it would just die on the vine, but when that's the _object_ of the exercise, it wouldn't seem like a miserable failure, now, would it? i bet it's easier to put up a sourceforge page than a wikipedia bio, with none of those pesky "fact-checkers" snooping around to ruin all of the fun... -bowerbird p.s. spellchecker, on encountering "o.e.b.", suggests "m.b.a." as replacement. how fitting!
