11:58 am
sprite
got it, great clue
11:58 am
cybernan
for those here who have never seen it: "I've decided the compiler of Enable is a prurient Jewish Scot who is a mining engineer with various medical conditions including dyslexia, and some musical leanings, who has travelled widely and collected a large variety of coins and currencies as well as sundry snippets of several languages, but is slightly out of date about cyberspace. S/he must have had some legal activities too and a penchant for using archaic language"
11:59 am
sprite
so very very apt
11:59 am
Aloyisius
