Yep, that's right! Now that Glenn reminds me, the zippered side is down. I
think it did happen to me once or twice to forget about the zipper, but
whenever you put your Newton in, it's kinda hard to forget to zip it...

GIGO /gi:'goh/ [acronym]: 1. `Garbage In, Garbage Out' -- usually said in response to lusers who complain that a program didn't "do the right thing" when given imperfect input or otherwise mistreated in some way. Also commonly used to describe failures in human decision making due to faulty, incomplete, or imprecise data. 2. `Garbage In, Gospel Out': this more recent expansion is a sardonic comment on the tendency human beings have to put excessive trust in `computerized' data.
