- Damn. There was a lot of good information in there.
-
- I think there are some people with the "no commercial uses of the net"
- rule imprinted on their brains. Maybe we should stop mentioning all
- commercial products, because that gives free advertising? Maybe me
- should take the word "apple" out of the c.s.a2 name because that's the
- name of a big-time computer company?
-
- Seriously, I just always though of the Lamp as a good source of
- news and interesting tidbits--I really liked the news about what
- Bill H. and Roger Wagner, etc., were currently up to (from show
- reports, etc.). It never bothered me that this information came
- from Genie.
-
- Is there any chance of bringing it back?
