You can tell it really IS the millennium, and perhaps even the end of the
world. Michael Hart releases a document that isn't in pure ASCII. So much
for "ASCII forever", "ASCII right or wrong", "if it ain't ASCII it ain't
feces", and so forth. Truly amazing. Now we'll have to see if the linux
and java fanatics come around too. That would be something.
