If there ever was a set of patents that should be overturned, this was it. I taught a class on programming in PASCAL on NJIT's Virtual Classroom back in 1993! Our conferencing system dated back to 1980 at least.
I have been a technology journalist and consultant for a quarter of a century, covering
the Internet since March 1994, and the free software world since 1995.
One early feature I wrote was for Wired in 1997:
The Greatest OS that (N)ever Was.
My most recent books are Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution, and Digital Code of Life: How Bioinformatics is Revolutionizing Science, Medicine and Business.

Thanks for the prior art - and apologies for the late posting - Google is eating my comments....
