See? See??? That just _proves_ the Internet is evil. If it wasn't for
all these protocols, there'd be no pr0n and people would Know Their
Place and Thrifty's would still be selling their triple cones for a
quarter, toppings included. Who, pray who, will save the children?

"Young man, I *heard* you playing with your VNC client in your room -
don't bother denying it. Now you march straight to the bathroom and wash
your hands!"

[grin] Thanks, Rand. Unfortunately, fixing the links (especially ones
from that long ago) won't actually do much of anything useful -
particularly since the article in question has been mirrored all over
the world, and our fixing the link would affect only our root site - but
it can't hurt anything.

The link now points to http://www.realvnc.com/ which should be a relief
to anyone trying to stave off their manager's ire. I can ony hope there
isn't a bunch of http://www.anl.co.uk links in there as well...
