There goes that old "perspective" again. There was something very satisfying
in one of the old text based Adventure games, where the graphics were in
_your_ mind and imagination, instead of the incessant on-screen flash, whiz,
bang, of the ADD generation(s).

Of course, a prerequisite to enjoyment was a mind richly prepared by reading
and education, a commodity currently in short supply.

The answer, as I see it, is the demographic with the money to spend, and
the
place where you can put advertising are the winners, a bunch of old BBS
and
FidoFolks are soon to be losers. The trend favors the Napster-type format
or the forums like Woodcentral, where the ads flow freely.

You think any of the kids understand the Windows modem icon? I remember
my
300 had the top molded to mate comfortably with a standard desk set, as
pictured. None of the kids I asked had any idea that telephones used to
connect in line with modems, or that there were handset types with
receiver
cups. Probably antiques for sale on e-bay.

Come to think of it, I think I may still have that UDS 300 downstairs....
