...address does not correspond to a specific e-mail account, so alumni will still need Internet providers, but it relays all e-mail from the Harvard-affiliated addresses to the corresponding user's current address. So long as one is on the 'Net, he or she can maintain a cyber-address easily accessible to classmates and friends...
That's not to say the pace of technological change is slowing. In fact, you haven't seen anything yet. Companies like Intel, Microsoft, Compaq, Cisco Systems and Oracle have plenty more cyber stuff on their drawing boards. What's in question is how much of it they will sell, how soon and at what price. One obvious problem is Asia. Tech companies were doing a lot of business there before the region's economies imploded. Intel, for example, has been getting 28% of its annual revenue there and will surely feel a sting from the slowdown...
Soon the only place you'll be able to find a pair of traditional skis will be at a yard sale. So-called shaped skis--a.k.a. parabolic, side-cut cyber--have revolutionized the sport, making the trip downhill easier and safer. Not since metal and fiber glass replaced wood have skiers gained so much from an improvement in equipment. The industry badly needs the boost. The number of skiers and ski-resort visits has been flat for a decade, while the number of skis sold has fallen 40%. Meanwhile, snowboarding has blossomed...

The bill is sponsored by Democratic Senator Ron Wyden and Republican Congressman Chris Cox and backed by President Bill Clinton.

And it would only impose a multiyear "moratorium" (the length differs in the House and Senate versions) to prevent "chaos" while the issue is studied by a presidential commission...
...Field, 27, and Griscom, 29, are clicking. Attractive, bespectacled and living in a bookshelf-clogged apartment that looks very much like grad-school housing, they've become the cyber Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw. Since they launched their online magazine, Nerve, on June 26 (the very day the Supreme Court knocked down the Communications Decency Act), they've got great reviews, a book deal with Broadway Books and about 10,000 visitors...
