GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS ON THE I-WAY
        The good news is, a survey of 1,000 people conducted by the Consumer
Technology Group surprisingly shows that nearly half of American households
are already cruising the information superhighway. The bad news is that 40%
think they're going the wrong way. (Tampa Tribune 8/1/94 B&F 10)
