While interesting, can you make the connection to either last week's or<br>
tonight's lecture topics? Sure, it affects software, and we are talking<br>
about software, but how does this relate to either the different types<br>
of software, their management, or multiuser principles?<br>
<br>
Let's make sure to keep our links focused!<br>
