"S" (sources and manuals), and preferably in Europe.  Please respond
by email.  Thanks in advance,

	 S is available from:
	    AT&T Technologies Software Sales
	    P. O. Box 25000
	    Greensboro, NC  27420
	    USA

	 In 1985, when we bought it, it cost $8000 for the first CPU and
	 $3000 for the second.

	 Because the 2nd license was for a CPU in Germany and because our
	 company is wholly owned by Siemens A.G. of Germany (though
	 incorporated in the US), AT&T was going to make us go through
	 their office in London.  This is where they handle all sales to
	 Western Europe.  Sorry, I don't know the address of the London
	 office.  Write Greensboro and I'm sure they will tell you.

Things brings up something I have thought about for some time.

We read about unscientific sampling all the time.  We have one of the
more remarkable interactive communication systems of time (still
developing).  Interactive TV and Picturephones did not succeed, but what
about making effective polling mechanism in news software?

The people who read the net are not a representative cross-section of
society, but it would be an interesting observatory study.  We can do
the whole bit like Field, Neilson (sp.), Skelly, etc. with weighting, etc.
