Have you guys seen the TV ads for networkMCI? Little girl standing on
a beach, talking dreamily about what the Information Highway will
mean.  Paraphrased (from two different ads): "It's not really a
highway.  It won't just connect two points, it will connect all
points."  My favorite bit: "It won't take you from here to there.
There will be no more there.  We will all be here."  Big cute grin.

OK, so it's pretty content-free, but it's trying to do some important
paradigm engineering on the public.  And it's neat.  :-) Anybody here
from MCI able to assign credit?
