- Guys, maybe you are pointing the finger at the wrong people. What if PBS
- didn't know that the stuff was taken from SIGGRAPH? How are they supposed
- to know if it wasn't in the show that was submitted to them? I think you
- should leave off the threats to PBS and just lean on the guy at MIT. Not
- too heavily, of course... 8-)

- ... This article was brought to you by my girlfriend, an avid PBS watcher, who
- was reading over my shoulder. 8-)
