Thanks for linking to this story!

I remember reading this a long, long, time ago.

I don't know where, but I did have a subscription to Omni when I was in 5th grade but that was 1986 or so. More likely I read it in the early days of the internet (pre-browser), when text was king and copyright nonexistent; when people painstakingly typed in great articles and bits of fiction like this one into the darkness of their computer screens at 2 AM.
