...makes these riches especially sweet is that Case has come close to wrecking his magical money machine. The self-demolition derby started last fall, when AOL's strained network backed up like a kitchen sink. New York City users were calling access numbers in places as far away as Alaska before getting through. In December, when AOL changed its pricing structure to allow for unlimited access at a flat rate, the mess worsened, and customers screamed. Attorneys general threatened to sue AOL for promising service it couldn't deliver. Wall Street analysts argued that this was the sort of problem...
Microsoft has managed to co-opt nearly everything. Yet as I sit facing my friendly Macintosh PowerPC and my nondescript IBM clone equipped with Windows 95, I know that only one of these machines has a soul. Rob Parsons Sitka, Alaska...

Along with pollock and other groundfish, these nets indiscriminately draw in the creatures that swim or crawl alongside, including halibut, Pacific herring, Pacific salmon and king crab. In similar fashion, so-called longlines--which stretch for tens of miles...
