Barry, I'm really going to enjoy reading this thread, THANKS. Mike, re: The vast majority of the planet's population are not communicating outside of their local village...and even if they had the capability to do so...they would probably have little to say besides, "we had a big storm..." or "the rice is growing well this season" or "my dog has fleas" I don't think that what "they have to say" is entirely the point, but also what they can learn and become. I have often wondered how many potential Michael Jordans there are in countries that don't play basketball, how many Tiger Woods in communities not exposed to golf, how many Walter Paytons where they don't play football. If PC technology and the internet were to provide the potential to educate the (my guess) 80% of the world population that doesn't currently have the opportunity for the best education, how many great leaders, scientists and artists might be uncovered? Could the internet eventually be a tool to increase the creative human potential of the world population that now goes wasted? Just a thought, John
