Today's burning question

From the latest issue of the Communications of the ACM:

HAS THE INTERNET BECOME INDISPENSABLE ?

In future issues:
1. DOS vs SYSTEM V: Pros and Cons.
2. Gopher: a new method for data transfer...
3. Special IBM Issue: Does the world need more than 5 computers ?

Sigh...

  1. I don't know wheter the internet is dispensable, but CACM
    is very dispensable, and was so for the last five years (at least). Considering the number of people reading it, to the number of people getting it, I think it is can be safely classified as a crime against trees and the environment.

  2. What is worse, there is now Queue, a new magazine from the ACM, that if you are not careful will appear in your mailbox noce you renew your membership !
