Couldn't agree more. I have only been using the internet since
September '96 and found myself quickly getting disgusted with the
over-commercialization of the entire web. Personally I believe the
whole hype is going to go the same way as CB did in the 70's and
Billy&Co. are going to have wasted a whole lot of man hours on making
the Internet user (un)friendly ;)
Or has this all been speculated before?
