     Of course, there's still the question of the PC and modem.  Let's
     face it, even if networking becomes as common as a loaf of bread,
     will e-journals ever have the supermarket stand-in-line appeal of
     something like People magazine?!

Of course they will -- there will be e-Peoples magazine.  The latest
"usenet" to attract my attention was "alt.true.crime."  Right now,
most of the discussion is "bibliographic" -- reading lists, defining
what the area of interest is.  Sort of a collision between The
National Enquirer and postmodernism.  When will this make it to
the ALA ? (oops, make that MLA !)
