Professor Conway is being honored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society "for contributions to superscalar architecture, including multiple-issue dynamic instruction scheduling, and for the innovation and widespread teaching of simplified VLSI design methods."

I kinda know what that means, but I do know that it's a big deal!

Ok, ok, we get it, you're a dangerous lunatic. No need to post several empty messages to make the point, geez. wink

Glad for Lynn Conway. Her impact is double: one as a technologist, and two as an educator.
