Monsieur Stroop sez:
Its not starting - its here. Just like CB went to hell, just like home
satellite units faced scrambled feeds, the Internet is under attack and I
expect it to go the way of CB radio. Most of the electronic $$ is in
peoples minds but, give it to the phone companies and we will soon be
buying our connections at TARGET stores - maybe even EGGHEAD.
//I'm not certain I understand where the problem is here. The Internet is the
"network for the rest of us", yes? Isn't widespread Internet access to the
common wo/man then a good thing?//
