Actually, it's EDINBURGH in SCOTLAND! Small point, perhaps, except
that a vast majority of Scots aren't too keen on the way the English
government runs things these days (pretty much London-biased), and
like to point out that Scotland isn't the same as England... Ok,
enough of the politics :-)

Dave MacQueen at AT&T and Andrew Appel at Princeton University did most of
the implementation work, based on groundwork laid at Edinburgh. Now, the
development is starting to spread to US universities, and of course we at
Edinburgh are researching ML and developing software as well.

I hope so... :-)
