UCITA - not in our state

[Jeff Mings]

Excellent!  I don't believe that anyone in the general IT industry 
(aside from the software vendors themselves) who support UCITA.  The 
InfoWorld guys have been exposing the problems and evils of UCITA for 
quite some time.  It's good to know someone like Mike will help the 
local groups keep an eye out for this beast.
