Having endured the Years of "The Internet is so K00L", "The Web is so
K00L", "Java is so K00L", and now "The Internet is so K00L" again, I
have a simple confession to make:

I don't care about the Internet, and I'm sick of it.

Sure, it's useful.  And sure, lots of people connect to it and need to
know how to do so, and the security implications, and the future
directions, and the latest fads.

But... any chance of AUUG talking about *anything* else?  Or are we going
to see it metamorphise into an Internet Fan Club?  Maybe there is simply
nothing else that can be said about Unix...
