I think that's brilliant!....

..and by that I'm referring to the BBC treatment of the story.
It's about a year ago that I was commenting here about the BBC referring
to "computer viruses" when they really meant "Windows viruses".  I encouraged
people here to write (very politely) to the BBC and complain, as I did myself
2 or 3 times.

Whether our tiny contribution had any effect we will never know.  I doubt it,
but they seem to have changed for the better in this respect.  I've noticed
the same thing for several months now.
