Some people like to be different simply for the sake of being different. They will go to great trouble to achieve that. There is considerable logic in that because when the mainstream goes belly up, it's good that there's an alternative. Not that Xanadu could suddenly replace Cyberspace as normally used. But with the framework there, maybe it does provide some alternative. Perhaps there are other alternatives too. When very high value rests on a single thing, it's often a good idea to have a back up plan. For example, New Zealand's access to Cyberspace is through the southern cross fibre [two cables]. That's a little bit of redundancy, but not much. When the Twin Towers were destroyed, Cantor Fitzgerald set up shop immediately from their back-up premises across the river although most of their staff were murdered. What do you think would happen if Cyberspace collapsed [not that I know how it could, but just suppose]? Is there some alternative? Mqurice
