I'll believe THAT when I see it in writing, on letterhead or e-mail
equivalent (or posted at the respective legitimate web sites), from IBM,
Apple, and Vanderbilt U., but not before.  I have sent an e-mail to IBM
asking whether the company is in fact a sponsor of American School
Directory.  If I get a response, I'll pass it along to LM_NET.
