That was a popular common word at MIPT where I was educated from 1979 to 1985 after school. It was last Breszhnev's times of "developed socialism". Nothing in economical and political life had logical grounds. We used to use "marasm" word to label anything, that couldn't be logically based. Nothing changed under the Sun: was a dissident a little against socialist marasm, now I am one against 12-16. Mike. ---------------------------------------------------- PS. MIPT is similar to MIT butt better. :-) (Adding "in my opinion" of course according to Byron A Jeff's recommendations) PS.PS. I do not agitate for AVR or MSP430, I do it for 18XXXX. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
