- Hmmm ... your last statement leaves me wondering what you're driving at. Do
- you mean to say that only because seemingly everyone in the world, or at
- least those with the right kind of cable coming into their homes, can get
- access to the net, that somehow the net just won't be the same? I would say
- yes, it won't be the same, it will bet better. I can't *WAIT* for this to
- happen. This would mean that not only can I get hold of my current set of
- net.friends, but that everyone I know, or almost everyone, would be found
- somewhere on the net, AND if the whole VR thingy files we'll be able to hang
- out virtualy and go to work virutally, and meet people from all over the
- world virtually (with the thought in mind of someday meeting in person).
- Note that I never mentioned having sex with the aforementioned people. I
- mean, why bother? I'd much rather of real sex with people I care for. But
- that's just me. 8-)
