- In fact, on the whole both it and its sister Compugram (daily) are not
- bad publications. Note that they are very timely: they were the first
- people to report this stuff (this wasn't the first time they mentioned
- it - I found out about the suit from Unigram-X, not from the net).

- I have learnt to skip Maureen O'Gara's viewpoint of the world a long
- time ago, but maybe she's not alone in her views. After all, she's
- been working for both publications for at least a couple of years. It
- would be short-sighted to think everybody thinks the way we do, and
- maybe this viewpoint is just a rather extreme complement of what the
- average hacker thinks of `suits'.
