Yes and no.  We're *also* entering an age where more and more users
have workstations at home, connected to a TCP/IP network via high
speed modems.  The number of people with very slow internet
connections is going to continue to grow, *especially* as far as NeXT
users go.  We've got to deal with huge differences in bandwidth.  To
ignore either end of the spectrum is a bad thing.
