I wonder if Al Gore will try to take credit for this, too?

Wicked cool. William Gibson cyberpunk noosphere stuff.
I like.
Considering that I started wasting time on the 'net when there was nothing but email and bulletin boards, and we dribbled out data at 2400k over landlines.... We've come a long way, baby.
Hard not to be nostalgic about those old bulletin boards, though--they were like the Wild West. We were pioneers--first time in history we could argue about inconsequential bullsh*t with people all over the world. 
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

They got the start of the WWW wrong by seven years. And I remember grid computing from all the way back in the late sixties.
2400k over landlines to the BBS. I cry when I think of 300 Baud over Watts lines. 14,400 hacken kernel code over the IRC was fun.
Buy Cisco stock. Those boys will be in on whatever happens.
