For those that missed it, the USB group (www.usb.org) maintains a database
of companies that are part of the group, with contacts for each company.

Evidently, either Tux secretly works at Microsoft, or someone hacked the
site, and listed Tux as one of Microsoft's contacts, for the "USB-IF
Representative".  His contact information was listed thusly:

Company Name: Microsoft Corporation 
            Name: Mr. Tux The penguin 
            Title: Linux Mascot 
            Email: tux at linux.org 
            Phone#: 555.1212 
            Fax#: 555.1212


Apparently, tux has been fired, or the site was repaired, because he's
been taken off the contact list.

Tux was found at this link:
