ABC News has put up a particularly nice web page that I just found, but one
that I think is indicative of the way that the web is going to go. The
subject is the book, "Rare Earth", by Peter Ward and David Brownlee that Tom
Hula was mentioning a few weeks ago.

To get to the page, go first to:

     http://www.abcnews.go.com/onair/nightline/NightlineIndex.html

and then scan down the rightmost column for the link, "Life beyond Earth".
The page requires both the G2 version of RealPlayer and Shockwave from
Macromedia. At 56K (our bandwidth speed to the internet), it's a little slow
to load, but it's worth the wait.

We're trying to put many of these same features into QCTerm. Indeed, most
everything you will see here will be in the next version of QCTerm (to be
released "soon" in the Atmarian calendar), other than the streaming video.
Even better yet, most of this will be capable of being driven from an HP3000
using any programming language you care to use, at even lower bandwidths that
this page is using.

The Nightline video (the third choice along the top) is the one that I would
recommend watching first. It has two parts; you get to the second part by
clicking the "Part II" icon (it wasn't as obvious to me that you should do
that as it sounds :-).
