I was amazed the other day to see a billboard along a highway whose sole
purpose was to advertise a web page.  (http://www.rotmans.com/)

Next they'll discover a cave painting advertising the imminent availability
of ISDN...

	That's unfair, of course.  ISDN was, in fact, first promised
	during the Bronze Age.  We're still waiting.

Sometime later, I saw a truck owned by the company advertising the web page.
The truck had phone numbers but no URL or email address.  The time to be
truly frightened will be when one sees panel trucks bearing *only* URLs.
