  1. Wow. That's amazing. I'll have to see if I can get that book from the library.

    I've also just found this blog recently which is great since you've retired. I started getting the Langa Letter sometime in 1997 and was sad to see you go from Windows Secrets. Probably half my computer knowledge came from you!

  2. my brain melted at about the 7th dimension.

    I, too, just found your blog after reading you had retired. LangaList was the go-to how-to for years. It made me look so techno advanced. I have let my Windows Secrets subscription expire. Thanks for your expertise both in the computer world and the ability to make it comprehendable to everyone.

  4. Thank you Fred, for finding and sharing it. Superbly articulated! I always wondered (having used "Intrinsic Analysis" for my Master's Thesis, and that being just about as close to multidimensional analysis as you can get without calling it that) how to deal with the "end-point" conceptually. Gee, *are* there 'only' 10 dimensions... and then you have to 'invent' some other concept? Or...
