Oh thank you dear Craig. What would I ever do without you? I would
have never thought of Google, and if I would have, I probably only would
have typed in the subject of this email, which might have listed a bunch
of sites which explained how the notation works...the binary notation,
etc., to which I would have had to lead off my original email by
stating, "My binary skill are lacking".....bah
I guess I can't be a *real* ÜberGeek until I try to act like a
condescending know-it-all on a mailing list, eh?

indignant response works I guess.
The funny thing was, I had just searched out that very thing a week or
two ago. 'CIDR calculator' worked immediately.
I never purported to be a know-it-all and am well aware of how little it
is that I actually do know. What I know are two things that I have found
serve me well though... The first is to find the right search terms for
google to lead me to what I am looking for and the second is not to
purport to be UberGeek...I haven't even figured out how to get an umlaut
yet.
