7 Wow! Thanks for the clarification! I was /totally/ lost for a moment, as
8 I simply couldn't follow your "assume you are running ~x86" thought
9 process /at/ /all/! =8^)

11 I'm very relieved to see it wasn't me going bonkers after all! It can be
12 pretty distressing when words that normally have meaning, in a sentence
13 structure that still has meaning, from a poster that usually knows what
14 he's talking about, suddenly fails to make any sense /whatsoever/.
15
16 Sometimes, there's a similar effect when I doze off at the computer and
17 drift between dreaming and awake, and stuff from the dreams enters the
18 semi-waking state and I realize it doesn't make sense but can't exactly
19 say why... until I wake up. Actually, there have been a couple times
20 I didn't realize something couldn't have /actually/ happened the way I
21 /thought/ I remembered it, until later. Only I checked myself and I
22 didn't /think/ I was asleep for /this/ one... unless I was dreaming the
23 entire thing...
24
25 So... yes, it's a BIG relief to find it wasn't me, and actually make sense
26 of things again! You had me *VERY* mixed up, for a few moments.
