Thanks, Paul, for your reminder about the John Bean info. I had read this
before on your great Sinclair Home Page but neglected to take notes. This
time I'm going back with a pencil in my ear as well as my fingers on the
keyboard! And DITTO your call for someone to post a summary of the
research piece on the Bean descendants.
