The cynic in me wonders whether the funny-looking E isn't something
pushed either before or after the political accomplishment by computer
companies wanting to churn the installed base. I mean, Y2K has a
definite sell-by date. So does this but I think it's another couple
years out, right?

ObCC: so what did you UKans do to get your funny-looking L on
computers, terminals, and printers imported from ASCII-speaking
countries?
