Meanwhile, back in reality, the Cleveland Freenet was costing a large
pile of money to continue to run with only a fraction of the users it 
once had, largely due to it not having a snazzy graphical interface, 
in my humble opinion.  It was great in it's time, but let's keep some
perspective.  Your session here helps prove this.  At it's highest point
it had well over 100 users active through most hours of the day and into
the wee hours of the morning.  I'm all in favor of private universities
such as this one funding projects that better life for the community 
at large, but cutting this one was very justifiable given the reduced
use it was seeing...
