Speaking of which, I got around to reading Wired/Nov94 and they mention
(p46) a guy pulled over by Texas troopers and busted for possession with
intent to distribute for having the case to the Plastikman CD (with its
attendant artwork) laying about (whilst playing it in the car I presume)
and the troopers, being able to identify blotter LSD on sight, evidently
saw it.
Hawtin was quoted "I don't think anyone thought something like this could
happen." I guess the quote was taken _before_ the Brits pulled it from
customs with that cover design. The article said the poor chap currently
awaits trial.
Anybody know what the outcome of the case was? Brian? Did he get an
apology from the Texas DA on accusing him of being a criminal, especially
of such a heinous and socially unacceptable one - LSD pusher? How many
potential employers are going to stick around to listen to the "but the
charges were unfounded and dropped" after answering the "Have you ever been
arrested for drug-related offense?" question. Oh, the benefits to society
of a "war on drugs" and our "fair" justice system are so obvious.....
Enough off-topic posting. Just musing about the world around me.....

When I was a young programmer, we didn't have those sissy icons or windows.
All we had were 1's and 0's. Sometimes we only had 0's. Why, I once wrote
an entire database system using only 0's...
