Actually, I am not quite sure. I tried to find it again this afternoon.
The other day I was surfing around and found a site that purported to be
a robot doing collecting for digital. I was looking through Yahoo I think
trying to see what the latest 'known robots' list had to offer and found
one in there that was collecting information for digital...
I will try again tonight to see if I can find the specific reference.
Ahh, found it. It may well be run from digital sites, as the reference
refers to a robot called 'Scooter'. However, the site with information
on the robot itself is under the domain dec.com and the stats that I
mailed yesterday were counted from the domain 'digital.com'
