One further comment on queries on the net . . .

Although something like /usr/group's catalog may be useful in
getting information about what's available, it doesn't do much
good in getting objective information about how well something
works.  I think the most valuable aspect of the network is that
one has a way of contacting people who have experience with a
product.  It is important to be able to base a purchase decision
on something more than a glossy brochure.
