Coordinators,
Here's a newsletter with some interesting info. There's an article
about Novell and open source. I've seen one of those small cars referred to
in the article on TV. They're awesome!!! They'll be hot for Christmas.
Put one of them on my Christmas list. Hey, I'm just an older kid.

> Sub $200 Desktop PC: Wal-Mart and Microtel have teamed up to
> offer a full-featured computer for just $200. It's an

> Where there's Smoke, there's Fire: Finally, one apology for
> last week's edition. I got flamed, oddly enough, over a lack
> of flames in one of our stories. We reported on the problems
> with some of Pioneer's DVD burners, and I implied that they
> could possibly spontaneously combust. Unfortunately our
> story lacked any detail on smoke, or fire. Turns out I was
> weaving in details I'd read from another story -- from a
> European news site. Although unlikely, smoke and fire is an
> outside possibility -- when the laser stays on, it gets
> pretty hot. At any rate, I should have ensured that those
> fiery details were in our own story before writing it up
> here. My apologies, I'll try not to do it again!
