Don't know if you were serious, but that little blurb in Electronotes 
actually landed me on of my best and longest jobs at a DSP company 
(Thanks, Bernie H!).  After a grueling 8-hour interview, I met with 
one of the founders, who was a VP there.  He was looking over my list 
of publications.  I was hoping one of my magazine or trade journal 
articles might catch his eye, when he said, "Oh!  The Slinky Spring 
Reverb!  I remember that!  It was in Bernie Hutchins' rag about 20 
years ago."  Other than having a memory like a steel trap, this guy 
was an avid synth dude.  Needless to say, that was a real icebreaker 
and cinched the deal.

>It's been six years since 1996, and frankly the Wiard is rather "old 
hat" to me now. It's a historical reality, in the history books, and 
has been amazingly successful as an art project. I offer no 
apologies.   But it is much too ambitious to sustain for very long.<

Hmmmm...  Was that a confession or a marketing ploy?   :-)

BTW, thank you very much for the URL.  What a fantastic site with a 
lot of great links!  It is now bookmarked.  Should get me out of your 
hair for a while.  ;-)
