I know that Prince and David Bowie tried to set up stuff direct with fans but I could access their websites, my flash on netscape is wonky now. I think it's in it's infancy now but the whole concept is loverly. Tell me, if you could download a ten minute little short film of Eddie doing something exclusively for his website, and it cost $5.00, would you pay the money? I would!!!! -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

In reply to: DoBeeDeux 's message, "Stephen King tried something like this recently. It flopped though, he was selling a book over the internet, but they didn't get much of a response. I think it was because they were charging $1/chapter! But it was pretty ground breaking of him to at least attempt it." on 14:00:08 07/05/01 Thu

I would most definately do it. I do think that it's the way of the future but on the other hand there is this great 'digital divide' between those who can have computers in their homes that can handle the technology and those who can't.

- Hey Teri, cought me as I was about to leave! I think that maybe in the future the web will be only cel phones and stuff like that and maybe it'll be like boomboxes, everbody had one of those and they sort of carry it around. All you will need will be wireless service and a DVD burner and maybe you can play it on a TV! (NT) -- spoot, dreaming and now it's really dreamtime, gnite!, 04:31:21 07/06/01 Fri
