Yeah well, I seem to be able to resist the "more is better" philosophy.
Most people... very especialy most Americans (steeped a culture of
excess)... will quickly overload on anything free.

In this particular case, the usenet binary groups a great reference
resource *if* you have the tools to sort through 2,000 posts a day
(don't these people have a life?!?). X-news seems better than any of the
dinosaur-ware I am familiar with, but I just plain don't want to spend
the time.

I don't like farting around with the computer that much, not my idea of
fun. There's a REAL world out there! It can be scary but it's a helluva
ride!

The main value of "the real world" is human beings, not their arms or
their hair or even their faces, it's their ideas. The amazing thing
about computers and the internet is that computers actually concentrate
and organize human ideas in such a way as to make them phenomenally more
available and accessible than they've ever been. This is a good thing.
