I didn't think so Leshy, but before criticising the (so far) excellent
novel that it cropped up in, I just wanted to check with some folks who
I knew would have the answer to hand.
There were a couple of other inaccuracies too, relating to Internet
cafes and Linux boxes but I will bite my tongue on those and finish the
book.
The author in question is a pretty tech-savvy and generally smart guy,
hence the question, but I shouldn't have doubted my intuition on that one.
Cheers,
Sean
