The only possible good thing I can think of that may arise from this 
transition is if Digital Review would only stop using the brain-dead
term "MicroVUPs".  Use VUPs of SPECmarks or whatever.  The use of
MicroVUPs was (I think) started and propagated by Digital Review, and
as far as I can tell, they are the only ones that use it.
