Michael, it was linked to Yahoo. It said [external source]. Don't know if that was a disclaimer or not, but I've seen some of the same stuff in the mainstream press. Of course, we don't need printed matter any more because all the high quality reading material that we need can now be found on the web. Same reason they are filling up schools down in Texas with laptops, right? Heard on NPR the other day that e-books are going to replace the real thing. Hey, now we know how Amazon is going to save major bucks on distribution. Everybody wants to go out and spend 4 or 5 hundered buck and get a reader and then give these guys a couple hundred dollars year before they can download a single book.
