- This is the Boston T map, as taken from the www.mbta.com website.
- I'm providing it as a public service for Boston Pilot users, of
- which there seem to be a considerable number. I didn't write it,
- and don't claim any posession thereof.
-
- For the record, I converted it using the PalmPilot Image Converter,
- a beautifully written program for Win95 (members.aol.com/Pilotapps),
- and it's designed to be viewed with the Pilot Image Viewer v2.0,
- by Arthur J. Dahm III. I highly encourage you to register Image
- Viewer: a great program, and you'll be supporting the production
- of shareware.
-
- Just as a side note, the existance of this file ties in neatly with
- my research at the MIT Media Lab, in the Personal Information
- Architecture group (ttt.media.mit.edu/pia/). This map is availiable
- as atoms or as bits: when going out for the day, you choose what
- atoms to pack or what bits to pack. I went on holiday recently,
- and had the choice between taking a Mark Twain book as atoms or bits.
- I wonder how transient this concept of packing bits will be. Thirty
- years ago, the idea of taking any kind of bits with you was
- essentially unthinkable. We've progressed through a couple of
- strange storage mechanisms for bits - luggables, laptops, notebooks,
- 8-inch and 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch floppies - to the Pilot.
-
- Many of us at the Lab & elsewhere expect a totally wired (& wireless)
- world, where your computer would never be out of touch, continually
- in contact with 'the Internet', removing the concept of packing your
- bits at all.
-
- Enough rambling. Use, enjoy.
