Oh why stop there? The captions under the photographs are at least three
years old (with the exception of the rare, relatively new pictures.) Don't
get me wrong, I like Dave's site (except for the badly written JavaScript
that handles the main menu on the left side of the screen without
preloading the "highlight graphics") but the copy is just plain out of date
and some of the people mentioned haven't contributed to the technology (at
least I've not read any of their articles) for quite some time. Worse yet,
some of the stuff on Ian's very nice photo gallery is a slavish copying of
the same unuseful text.

There is nothing like repeating the stories of past heroes, but...
