Entries like this makes me wonder how well, if at all, you check your stories. 1) when I checked this morning the url from your article ends up at SSC's "page not found" message. the correct url for the 49th issue seems to be url:http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue49> 2) at the time I checked (a little before nine in the morning, june 17th, Central European Daylight Savings Time), I was unable to find any=20 references to data aquisition or trains. But then again, if this is an attempt to up your list's comedy appeal, you've succeeded. --=20 Peter N. M.

May issue, pages 51-54. Whether it's still on the web site is another story, but it appears from the four-page article that this is not a laughing matter to the German engineers involved.
