Well, nooo.. I was more interested in the story *as a UL* than the story
itself. That it's "old news" is obvious to anyone with half a brain, but
the interesting thing about the story is the way in which it's is being 
reproduced as *gospel* in so many allegedly authoritative computer rags,
and attributed to so many different sources.

Most ULs are "old news" - I'm interested in this piece of old news as a
new UL. Or something.
