Sure, I will. I expect that within six months, I will have
upgraded my home connection to, gasp, UUCP! Maybe, maybe,
*maybe* six months after that I will have achieved a SLIP
connection, but even then I dunno how much Web browsing I'm
going to do at 14.4K, eh? (To answer the Heloises out
there, I don't intend to run Netscape even if the MCOM
employees come to my home and insert flaming bamboo sticks
beneath my fingernails.)
So, what's a good dinner to you, Eric? This should be
interesting.

The drawback is that the Web sucks if taken as a publishing
medium.
