Several minor issues I noticed looking through the rolodex database:

``rolodex mycroft'' gets you the gnu office.  that stopped being The
Right Thing in about the fall of 1997.

There are various BBN/gtei/genuity numbers; one wonders if they have
ceased to be useful.

The whoami number listed (200-222-1234) gets me a busy signal
(probably a fast busy) when I dial it from my landline in Somerville.
I don't know of any number that does work for that function, and would
be interested in learning what it is if there is one.

It seems odd that this lists somerville twice, but shrug:

dodecahedron:~$ rolodex 617-776-2460
617-776-2460  Somerville
617-776-2460  SOMERVILLE, MA (SOVLMACEDS0) BELL ATLANTIC NE
dodecahedron:~$ 

(One also wonders if tying that into google might be clever, or
something.  Or searching the athena finger info.)
