Editor's Note
We have some interactive news for you this week. First - our
tech story about kittens and spam features a link to a web site
where you can try your luck at outsmarting the spam filter by
identifying cute kittens in a grid of animal pictures. And as
long as you're filling your idle moments with non-work

correctly name the first four presidents in order. If you
can't, maybe it's time for a little history refresher course at
the next CPE meeting. Try to remember the state capitals while
you're at it!
