I'm not exactly new to this, but no matter how much netnews
I read, I can't seem to find answers to the following questions.
I hope someone can enlighten me, and I'm sure there are many
new users that would like to know too.

1) I still don't understand the difference (if there is one) between
   "UseNet" and "Internet".

2) What is ARPAnet?  I know what the acronym stands for, something
   like Advanced Research Projects something or another, but what
   is it physically?  Are there Ethernet cables stretched all over
   the country or something?

-Greg
