I read the PC Week article, but found no contact information for professor
McCormick.  I searched via InterNIC and found a listing for a John McCormick,
but it gave only a telephone number and didn't indicate a location or an email
address.  Does anyone know professor McCormick and know if he has an email
address?  I can call the McCormick listed, but I'd like to have some idea if
this is the right person beforehand.
