Subject: UMI name change

In case this is news to some of you (it was to me):

As of May 3rd, UMI has changed its name to "Bell & Howell Information
and Learning".

There's a press release at: http://www.umi.com/hp/PressRel/990503.html

Name changes like this always knock our accounts payable dept. for a
loop, which holds up payments for a while.  Even small changes, like
from "Gale" to "The Gale Group", can cause payment trouble for us.  But
hey, you can't stop progress....
