[Leica] old farts

[lists at mcclary.net (Harrison McClary)]

 Have you not read Robert A. Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land"?  
Grok comes from that, it means to completely understand and identify 
with someone or something, it is a Martian term.

If you never read that book do yourself a favor and read it...it won the 
Hugo for a reason...it is a good book. 

Oh and wetware...the original computer that lies between your 
ears...damn I am only 42...am I really THAT old that I understand this 
stuff???  LOL
