But look who was using the CB - truckers and travelers. Not many looking
for information, just company.

Peter's post is interesting. The editor of Infoweek is also prediciting

It might shed some light to realize these are the same folks who, in 1990,
predicted that CD-ROMs "were dead."
New to libraries.
I would take this with about 5# of salt.
