"Hey, Look. I've Got Mail!" Wow, This CyberSpace Stuff Is Nifty!
Am I There Yet?
Last week, I got an advertisement in the mail that said if
I just connected my business to the Internet through networkMCI,
I'd have all the information I'd need at my fingertips, and I'd
be able to send mail to all my friends and business associates!
Are you saying this isn't true? :-)

Every wave of the AOL/CIS/MSN newbie invasion will cause more and
more "grumbling," as we are all reminded that some people will believe
the hype, and that much of the Internet has a short-term memory
measured in days, and that much of its value comes from the fact
that the same questions are asked and answered over and over again.
VRML isn't Gibsonian cyberspace, and Plug 'N Play doesn't
let me "jack in," either. What are you going to do about that? :-)
