If Inmac produced a version of their catalog that could be accessed via
Mosaic, they wouldn't have needed to send 300 copies directly to
world.std.com.

I don't think buying a mailing list of internet users
is smart.  Spend the same money to have someone set up
a WWW service... now *that* would be smart.
