Mike and Cristy,

It's already in place here in Berkeley, California. Local merchants have allowed a company to install
email/internet terminals that allow you to check your email and surf the net. . . .I personally don't need that
much connectivity and I would rather not have advertising come through on them. What I have been enjoying is the
experimental videos being played on TV monitors at bars and clubs. The quality is improving and no commercials are
played. It's an alternate venue for video art that has yet to be tapped by the artistic world.
