Here's a diversion from LEDs, Bus Drivers, etc. for a moment ... :-)

A long time ago (never mind how long ago <g>) when I was getting my EE
(Computer Design minor) at SUNY Buffalo I remember a class where we were
studying combinational logic, gate reduction, etc. using, if I recall
correctly, "Mealy, Moore, and xx" where, as I recall, "xx" was something
that sounded like "Majediv".  I have Googled several attempts at its
spelling but I am unable to turn up anything.

Anybody know what I'm thinking of?

Nothing critical to life at the moment, just one of those "I wonder if that
would be useful to me now" kinds of musings.

I never did actual "Computer Design" as such (mostly software system
design), but, as my father (EE and college professor for 30 years in NY
state) used to tell me:

	"Engineering doesn't GIVE you all the answers but it 
	teaches you how to FIND the answers"

Which, by enlarge, has proven true for me ...
