RE: Moving to Mac

["John Brandt Sr." <pgmr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the Bible, 666 is the sign of the devil. It was actually a
coded way to refer to Caesar. Back in Roman times, it was
common to use numeric values rather than acronyms. 
Caesar, Julius (Caius Julius Caesar), 100? B.C.-44 B.C.
in Roman script is 6 letters in each name meaning 666.

Anyone willing to explain to a "non native" what's so special about
666?
TIA

No, I've never jumped because of that. I know where 666 comes from. 
Well, I can't say that. I've jumped because the bill was so LOW.

Uh, I think maybe the operative word is re-POSSESSED.

Ever jump when presented with a bill for six dollars and sixty-six
cents?
