Freshly Exhumed writes: "SciFan aficionados might soon be lining up to study at the University of Calgary due to an amazing donation: A massive collection of science fiction and pulp magazines spanning the last century has been donated to the University of Calgary which officials say will be a boon for literary and pop culture research. William Gibson had spent many of his 92 years sealing his prized collection in plastic, leaving behind a true motherlode of science fiction writings."

    Does anyone other than me see that MS .net add on this page? This is the first time I have seen a M$ add on slashdot. Does anyone know if it happened before this? I wonder if they know the amount of hate that exists on slashdot that is aimed at them.
