Are you high? The article was written in 2000. It says so at the |
| 29 |
beginning. The information in the article pertains to that time. You |
| 30 |
don't go updating every article you publish every time the author's |
| 31 |
personal details change. |

Please leave IBM alone. They were nice enough to allow us to reprint |
| 34 |
the content of several articles written by Daniel. |
