Surely you jest. :) That was over twenty years ago, some unholy, gargantuan Boolean equation at the back of a long lost textbook that I couldn’t even begin to solve today. Today I just write ASP.NET logic and legal briefs, etc. The days of doing Boole are but a distant memory. My uncle, when he was at the University of Chicago, was taught that there are certain discoveries where it was believed that if a certain person had not appeared in history, that discovery might have waited for centuries to surface again. And they further taught that George Boole was just such a person. Food for thought. Imagine no computers. Yet.
