I would like to quote the following from this afternoon's paper:
CHICAGO(AP)--The pictures may be a little fuzzy and they're
in black and white, but Playboy magazine is betting that
thousands of computer users will call up Playboy Online,
a computerized version of the magazine.
"It's like a teaser," Bill Paige, a spokesman for Playboy
Enterprises Inc., said Monday night. "We're picturing a guy
who is really into his computer and many not be exposed to the
kind of things in Playboy."
Playboy Online is available only to users of Apple Macintosh
computers who also subscribe to one of several information
networks such as the Source, Usenet, and Delphi.

I hope the part about Usenet isn't true, because the resulting
controversy will be a pain in the, well, you know...
Perhaps it was just an April 1 press release. :-)
