This was my exact reaction and this has been the reaction of everyone
I've showed internet. Who ever thought that "geeks" would have groups
like alt.sex.bondage and post pictures that could only be obtained in
the best of the hardcore porn shops. They are also impressed by the
free long distance and endless stuff to download. Then they wonder why
they are paying for compuserve.

Hook that USWest thing to the net. If systems like CARL can be on
there why can't the phone book?
