As soon as I saw his name (Andrew Tannenbaum), I thought "Gee - is
that the Andrew S. Tannenbaum who wrote the Computer Networks textbook
I used in college (and later taught from as a TA in grad school)?". 
Yep, it is.  He may or may not know a lot about proper polling
methodology, but he certainly knows computer networking.

My favorite bit of geek humor from his book (paraphrased, since I
can't find the exact quote right now) :  "Never underestimate the
bandwidth of a station wagon full of magnetic tapes driving down the
highway".
