39          Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics
40          to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the
41          data and stores it for later use.  An example of such use is the

95          It later became apparent that we had no name for our project (other
96          than 'The Project'). It seemed only natural to name our project after
97          the ice cream that had been oh-so-randomly drawn on the white board.
