Thanks for the lyrics. Either way works.

And now for everyone, I've found a story that's an absolute must-read for anyone interested in telecommunications history. If you have Wired magazine, you can skip it here. Otherwise, print and read at your leisure. It's going in my archives.

Enjoy!

>>>This is an article by Neal Stephenson in the December issue of Wired Magazine. It is a very long article (40 pages!) about the laying of a fiber cable from England to Japan. This article is a masterpiece...reminds me of John McPhee's writings...combining technology, history, geography, economic and other social aspects. The entire article is now available online, but I would really encourage readers to (gulp!) buy the magazine and enjoy the article. This quality of reporting and writing deserves to be supported! -- Wired Magazine -- December, 1996 (this link updated 12/30/96)>>>
