Hi,

/"A combination of this "carry anywhere" device and a global information
utility such as the ARPA network or two-way cable TV, will bring the
libraries and schools (not to mention stores and billboards) or the
world to the home. One can imagine one of the first programs an owner
will write is a filter to eliminate advertising!"/

/        - Alan Kay, 1972/

I couldn't help but feeling identified with this "owner".

Regards,

Sebastian
