Subject: FIDE bans computers?!

I have heard that this weekend FIDE banned computers from any rated tournaments,
plus announced sanctions against organisers who ignore this ruling. Does anyone
have more information or a URL on this matter?

I know there was a FIDE Presidential Board meeting at Simpsons-in-the-Strand in
London, where Kirsan Ilyumzhinov confirmed that the 2000 FIDE World Championship
would start on Saturday November 25 in New Deli, India, with the finals moving
to Tehran (really!).
