humans have generally 10 fingers, that is why they use generally the 10 base.
also the phone companies.

when the kilngon duds will scream "ho`h" I will worry about that... wait.. 
klingons have also 10 fingers... cool... we are safe... :)

trust me no :)
numbers are ALWAYS ltr. If I am wrong, please prove me wrong.

ah! got you!
anyway Shaheed has told me the code works. For me it's enough to commit the 
change, sometime next week or the next one :)
