That was pretty cute. :-)

That last line has got me slightly stumped though.  I know who Dennis 
is, I've met Ken (a really nice guy for the 5 minutes I got to talk to 
him, :-) but who is Bill?  I'd know who Doug, Rob, Brian, Steve, or 
David is, but I can't place a Bill (or a William) at the old Bell Labs.

And I'm probably gonna go "Doh!" when you tell me aren't I? ;-)
