Exclusive-or, XOR: an underlined \/, or in Boolean algebra, a plus in a
circle. Better to say that /\ AND is "both.. and". It's a pity the
meanings of the words in logic are this different from the english ones;
no wonder most ppl don't manage to use Boolean search-engines (like Alta
Vista) very effectively.
