Good one Dale. After looking at it for a couple of days though, the equally correct but more elegant answer comes when you keep it in hex such as: dead plus 0001 is deae. The last answer keeps me from wondering where my hex calculator went... B) Did the ultimate answer of 42 ever find the ultimate question to go with it? 73 de n7zi Gary "Why buy something for ten bucks when you can make it for a hundred."

Well, after looking at C0DE all day and eating BEEF I'd have to be a real B0B0 if I didn't answer: 57006 (decimal) How come it's not 42? I always thought that was the ultimate answer?
