The Story:

 

Why I support the development of an International Data Network.
by Oliver Seely, California State University Dominguez Hills

 

The incidents I’m going to relate below are things that would never have happened if the Internet were not available to me. Though bordering on the trivial, and perhaps not the kinds of things that would look good in a proposal, they still represent a lively and certainly not unproductive experimentation with the new world of electronic information transmission.

 

KLARINET is a list of clarinet players. We talk about all kinds of things. How to repair cracked instruments, what kind of wood oil to use, even how to make one’s own reeds. There are over 150 of us on the list. How could you otherwise bring together 150 clarinet players at so low a cost?
