Easily available everywhere?  Would you like to tell me how they are easily
available from a bulletin board here in Champaign-Urbana?

I'm not arguing that this makes Usenet a good or efficient way to distribute
Hypercard binaries.  I am suggesting that people living in major metropolitan
areas like the Bay area should not assume that what is available locally to 
them is typical of what is available throughout the country.
