One of the best bits about living with people is you get to read all their books. Gilbert is in my eternal gratitude list for showing me Harry Newton‘s Telecom Dictionary. Any dictionary that includes definitions for Caller-ID message format, Poisson distributions, meatware, Podiumware, RS233 and Harry himself (“According to Susan, his wife of over 21 years, he has become a sex symbol for women who no longer care.”), is a winner.
There’s no topical reason for writing this. I just thought people should know.
