>=A0It seems apples and oranges
Hi Scott,
Having skimmed the article and some of its predecessors, I find it
hard to determine whether there's any correlation. REALLY hard.

Described in the videos as a clever modeling tool forked off of JNode
which had a plain old TCP/IP stack written in Java.
But what I'm still missing is use of that modeling system to
demonstrate any concepts in Day's plan.

A colleague thoughtfully lent me a copy of the book. I found it more
incondite than recondite.
I'd like there to be some abstruse nugget of insight in there. I
really would. Maybe you can tell me the page number, 'cause I just
can't wade through the rest of it.
