WiReD. What a waste of pulp; worse, what a waste of potential. A magazine
that could have held the hands of aol novices and led them into the real
net.world, and promoted freenets, and demonstrated the need for
cryptosystems, and challenged the minds of net citizens decided to take
the low road and become "USA Today" (for cypherpunks abroad, "USA-T" is a
`newspaper' that looks like a big comic book, and doesn't trouble its
readers with many syllables ... rather like Prodigy ...).
