- GUARDIAN SND "I am the Guardian of Forever"
- From a great Star Trek show on time travel.
- This sounds neat.
-
- CHANTS SND What you might hear if you chose to travel
- in time to 11th century Europe. Monks singing.

- Un-SND Rumors There must be something in the Charter
- ------------- for Newspapers that says look for
- non-positive news.
-
- Well, now a Major newspaper has managed to
- find non-positive news about the newspaper medium
- (and I thought they'd never point their pen
- at themselves!!).
-
- It reported that a Mr. Warren Buffet
- (one of America's most successful investors)
- has stated that newspapers have
- "permanently" lost their business value.
-
- I am not an expert. But I believe that
- Mr. Buffet is wrong. I also believe that
- Mr. Buffet needs to do some mind traveling
- to a not too distant time zone (say circa 1995).
-
- In that time zone Mr. Buffet would observe
- himself reading his past quotes in an
- Electronic Newspaper. He'd be using a small
- 8.5" x 11" device that is readable in any
- orientation. He'd also be able to just lay
- back and automatically listen to his
- quotes via synthesized speech that would mimic
- his very own.
-
- He'd then realize that in the early 1990's
- the newspaper industry went thru a renaissance
- as it evolved from a paper to an electronic
- format. He'd also realize that newspapers
- did not "permanently" lose their business value
- in the year 1991.
