I could be mistaken about the quote, although I'm fairly certain it was Heinlein. If it was not I hope he sees this on whatever planet science fiction writers go when they leave this one, and forgives me for misquoting him.
What bothers me more though is that it seems none of the Microsoft people have seen this. I was betting on MS using some kind of scan technique on the UT to scan for keywords like Redmont and Microsoft.
So now I'll throw in a reference to Mike Steward and if I'm lucky might get some reaction :-))
