I think a clue to the date comes from the file name: 100614 is
probably year, month, day. Whether you think that's "old" or not is,
I suppose, a matter of opinion. It was new to me.

Reaching Strehl80% is a magnificent achievement, but I agree with
the criticism of the failure to date the press release.

Thanks. Well, if it comes around again next year, we might need to be
prepared like the Mars spam. :-)

Hey, this guy I know just forwarded me something saying that this
weekend, the Large Binocular Telescope will look larger than the
moon!
