	You know, I was in Toronto the other day, having dinner with my
sister (pursuing a Master's in Philosophy) and my brother-in-law (second
year law).  Both of these artsies were thrilled at the prospect of having
a home computer attached to a USENET-like network - more for the mail and
news features than anything else.
	Pournelle wrote that he couldn't understand how he had survived
without a PC, and I suspect that our friends at Drexel and CMU will feel
the same way in two or three years.
