Hi, Rex.

I've been asked to do a panel at Internet 95 in Oct - you may have read
about it on Inet. I proposed doing a controversial topic and they agreed.
I'm trying to get some private input before I ask for public comment. Can
you help?

The topic:

    Is Our Ultimate Dream a Nightmare?

*Very* brief intro:

    Jan 17, 2028. The silver anniversary of the date PC sales exceeded the
population
    of America. With many advances that have occurred since then, America
has now
    become a bedroom community and vacationland to the industrialized nations.

I intend to invite some other members of the net to discuss this as a panel.
The general theme is what happens if we succeed in:

    o   getting everyone on the net?
    o   eliminating the need for distributors and retailers?
    o   reducing production costs by moving all production, telenetmarketing
        and fulfillment to what are currently under developed nations"?

I already have a list of many factors that could make this an interesting
topic, but I wonder how the idea sounds to someone else. You have always
impressed me with the breadth of your intelligence and opinion, so I thought
you would be appropriate.

TIA

    Don
