      I too have friends and relatives that have moved to the Bay area
and alternative sources of information are welcomed. I think that the
net is a good place for any and all types of data and information in
addition to the "newsy" types. Peoples' personal stories are a wonderful
source of experience. Many things that may never transmitted or 
is distorted by the regular media is often told by first hand people.
    Think of the "Newsy" stuff that was sent from U.S.S.R during the
coup, A lot made it out quicker than the "real" news.
  sorry for the flack..
