About two months ago, there was an experiment conducted in England where
several different people were put up in apartments with nothing but a
computer, Internet access and a credit of a certain amount of money.  The
goal was for the people to clothe, feed themselves, etc. solely from the
Internet. I think the time span was one week.  The people had varying
Internet skills.

Does anyone know what happened to these people?  Our papers only carried
the initial story and didn't do a follow-up.  If someone could point me to
a web site with details, I'd appreciate it.  We've talked about this in a
class I'm teaching but none of us know what happened!!  I need closure :-)

Thanks.

Nancy
