	   Obviously, THIS news service isn't as yet quite up to the task of 
   replacing television, as the written word lags behind pictures in 
   entertainment value.  But imagine the near future:  imagine a bulletin
   board service which can handle not only words, but PICTURES and SOUND,
   eventually even motion pictures.  (Sure, such a system will take a LOT
   of memory, but let me try to convince you that it will all be worthwhile.)
