programming vs the Web:
Around 1968 I read a book where this guy had a long hyphenated name
which the computers kept having troubles with. He invented a
bacterium that ate computer tapes for revenge - which made him an
ecological hero though.
By any chance was that "The Man Whose Name Wouldn't Fit"?
As I was reading this thread I was thinking of that Science Fiction
Novel before getting to your message. Based on this memory, and on
impulse, I just right now bought a copy so I can reread it. Copies
are available from Amazon if you want to reread it yourself.
