<< Also, right now, the internet is still not widely used because many places charge access fees. In Europe, you pay by the minute for local access - i.e. 10 cents a minute even if you call next door. Thus, people cant practically use the net for 4 hours at a time as can be done here.>>

And Bob folks are always flaming me when I point out how far behind the US Europe is in technology, both developing it and using it. Lots of folks are very sensitive about this, and cannot engage in a rational discussion of it.

I understand that the French govt has been trying to push its own bogus version of an internet in order to control its use and to keep out non-French content, because they are intolerant of and afraid of non-French content. Oh dear.
