ActiveX Files	The otherwise very good ActiveX cover story (September) includes some disinformation in David Linthicum's sidebar on security.
P&S'ing for Dollars	We appreciate BYTE's recognition of the growth of publish and subscribe technology ("Publish or Perish," by Richard Hackathorn, September).
Web Groupware	Jon Udell's "HTML + NNTP = Groupware" (September Web Project) hit on several important points but didn't mention that the Web was originally designed to do what he's describing: collaborative authoring.
Other Interfaces	Your article on network user interfaces ("Good-Bye, GUI -- Hello, NUI," August) left out one important NUI.
Improbable Products, or If We Had a Million	Man, I am sitting on an S.F.-to-Boston flight and cannot stop laughing.
Hot Plug Today	While you did a solid job of describing how Hot Plug PCI technology works, and the role it can play in reducing server downtime, you left out information regarding the current availability of compliant products ("Hot Plug Will Deliver Higher Availability," July Bits).
Fixes	We used Visual C++ ver sion 4.2, not 4.3, as part of our benchmark tests of Pentium II PCs (September Hardware Lab Report).
