o The folks at NCSA will be glad to learn that their web
server is really running on a CRAY, cunningly disguished as HP
workstations (hey Rob - that's cheating :-)
o Gopher and HTTP are much less efficient at file transfer than FTP
o Moguls are plotting to ban ASCII from the networks, in an effort to
deprive the masses of 80x24 literature,
o What people really want is 23 copies of Alice in Wonderland on a
