Comment(s):
- The McCauley Omnicom is the 30th Century's equivalent of today's tablet computers.
- Although the McCauley Omnicom features are mostly placed at the end of the issues they sometimes appear in the beginning or even within the stories themselves. In the actual book these pages are counted as regular story pages, but since they are often entries from years earlier they will be indexed as features and a note will be made if the feature is directly related to the main story.
- This is an article entitled "U.P. Tech-Economy Problems, Not Khunds, Caused the '89 Collapse, Says Rebirth Summit" written for the Daily Planet by Megan O'Ryan.
