Please don't post misinformation to the net.  The whole reason for
the current excitement is that superconductors with critical
temperatures above 90K, and with larger critical magnetic fields
than ever seen before, have been discovered.  Your local paper must
not be too good; this has been front-page news in the NYTimes and
San Jose Mercury.
