[Husker] (don't get your hopes up) Callahan asked to step down according to Forbes

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

Over the years, Forbes has written some really questionable articles 
regarding subjects in my industry, the computer industry. They were 
typically written by someone with an axe to grind, whether pro-Microsoft 
or anti-Microsoft, and presented as factual. 

I've seen similar complaints from other people in other industries, giving 
me the impression that Forbes is really a piece of trash when it comes to 
a publication.
