OK, I admit that this week's crossword puzzle is a little self-serving and
self-promoting, but what the hey. All of the clues with an asterisk (*) after
them are categories in the table of contents at the tops of RF Cafe website
pages, so that should help a bit. To make it even easier, they are all on the
"Main" TOC menu. As always, this crossword contains no names of politicians,
mountain ranges, exotic foods or plants, movie stars, or anything of the sort
unless it/he/she is related to this puzzle's technology theme (e.g.,
Hedy Lamarr
or the Bikini Atoll).
The technically inclined cruciverbalists amongst us will appreciate the effort.
Enjoy!
