Well, not really.

Remember back in May I posted this:

Atlantic Airlines Flight 423 lost – 2,304 feared dead

This was a made-up headline used on astronaut Frank Poole’s IBM News Pad during the course of “2001: A Space Odyssey.” In the new book “The 2001 File,” a photo shows astronaut Dave Bowman reading an article titled “Archaeologists Find a Viking Ship in Maine” on *his* News Pad. Sadly, the resolution is nowhere near enough to actually read the article. But if the “Atlantic Airlines” episode tells us anything, no doubt a complete story was written describing the finding of a Viking boat in Maine.  If anyone knows of a readable version of that, I’d be interested.
