In last week's Embedded Linux Journal newsletter, in a section talking about the Open Letter to Michael Eisner [1] on the Linux Journal web site, we erroneously reported that the Walt Disney Company paid Sen. Ernest Hollings $25,000 to introduce a bill that would ban Linux.
This is incorrect.
They only gave him $18,500.

For a list of top Hollings contributors, go to:www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib/N00002423.htm [3].
If Sen. Hollings will get in bed with Mickey Mouse for $18,500, will he kiss a rat on the lips for $500? Make him an offer: www.senate.gov/~hollings/webform.html [4].
