Whoa! This is just not true. These types of statements are made by
web-centric viewers. I deal with some 3000+ users at a time in 80
countries world-wide that have nothing but E-mail only access.
In the US alone, some 8 million people use Juno, which is E-mail only.
They are not a vanishing breed but a growing one, depending upon which
nations now start getting on-line. My biggest growth area has been
Cuba, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Russia (which still uses UUCP).
In addition, users in countries like Singapore must use E-mail only
access to get around the proxy server restrictions that are placed on
the nation as a whole.
