So, it turns out that the guy who runs the =http://www.electoral-vote.comElectoral Vote Predictor[/url] website is =http://www.cs.vu.nl/~astAndrew Tanenbaum[/url]. The first thing I did when I read that was look up at my bookshelf for =http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0136386776/mustsleepsoftwarOperating Systems: Design and Implementation[/url]. Apparently, I don’t actually have that book. I thought I did, but I guess not. He is mentioned in several of the books I do have, and everyone who has studied operating systems should know who he is. I then continued reading the Votemaster FAQ, to see if it was actually the same guy. It is.

I just wanted to say thanks, for your great contributions to operating systems, and for running a terrific website that I’ve been following every day for months now to keep up with the election.
