[OT] a while ago, I mentioned (on another list) that all real programmers  
have three extra fingers on each hand. (Business opportunity: Halloween  
costume makers could put out gloves...) There's an icon somewhere in my  
machine that's a hand with seven fingers and a thumb; unexpected location.

Reply was that that was not true at all. Four fingers are good enough for  
all hex digits (pun?) and the thumb is for digit parity.
