  This is correct.

> 90.0.0.x

  A search of ARIN (American Registry of Internet Numbers) reveals only
that this is part of a reserved range from 64.0.0.0 through 95.255.255.255.
  A search of AltaVista for [+"90.0.0.0" address range +ip rfc] uncovers
one use as an example of "a valid class A address", and a bunch of (false)
hits on pages of statistics, mostly about baseball.

  This is correct.

> 192.168.x.x

  This is also correct.

  If PC Week was correct about the 90.0.0.x block, it's a deep dark
secret from the rest of the network community.  I think it's more
likely that they got this wrong.
