How about: "Themes from IDM" (the acronym rolls better off the tongue, IMHO) "Whispers of the Mind" "Motifs: An electronic soundscape" "Murmurs from the Electronic Frontier" "Edge of the world: Cyberspace is not flat!" IMHO, I prefer the WWW approach, though. Self-publishing seems to me to be the best solution. (As long as there are no "orb-alikes" with 39+ minute pieces.) Here's some questions for fellow IDM-ers: Where and HOW did you get your fat pipe to the Internet to support the bandwidth WWW and multimedia access you seem to be enjoying? And I'm particularly interested in those of us that *don't* use the resources of the university they attend. Some of us cannot remain students all of our lives. Anybody got a "personal" (or close to it) T1 link? What all is involved in getting a fat pipe to your house? What sort of cost are we talkin? What are the actual services and boxes that I would need? (i.e. what products do I start shopping for and what do I ask the phone company or Sprint or AT&T or MCI or (others, anyone?) to give me? Anybody live where Ole Bill (Gates) is hookin' up yer TV to the Internet via two-way cable-TV? What's available now with 14.4k bps v.FAST technology (i.e. <$200 modems)? Is Mosaic just too slow at that speed, even? If I download Mosaic for Windoze, what else do I need to do to use it? Do I need to find a SLIP connection to the net at that point? I heard I need TCP/IP services for Mosaic (i.e. get a TCP/IP DLL). I guess I'm heading towards either becoming a provider myself or helping others get access to these services. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael King mike%delta1@rex.cs.tulane.edu Delta Systems New Orleans, LA 70002-4938 Voice: 504.837.9835 Fax: 504.837.9838 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- One in twelve people is mentally unstable.
