Yes, perhaps it's self aggrandising. You have to forgive it, I chosed it when I was much younger. Software Sorcerer was a name we took with a friend in 1984, when I was barely 20, with SOS\000 to SOS\377 having been registered as MacOS application signatures with Apple Computer. Unfortunately we split out before finishing our developments, and each went his way. Eventually I moved to Spain and registered the informatimago.com domain name on 25-may-2001. I was probably influenced by those early memories and by sicp. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com
