Oddly enough, if one thinks of the Internet as a large scale computer
then we are approaching one global computer for the peoples.
Figuring another for the military, um... lemme see... one.. plus
one.. that's 2 right ?
At the time, everything was a terminal off of one mainframe. Seems
we may eventually get back to that, just on a really global scale.

stuff is booted and what gets loaded.
Didn't someone predict you would not own any software, but actually
lease it from the web ? I guess if your check to M.S. didn't clear
you couldn't use paypal to get back on line.. oh, the irony.
