I would like to quote the following from this afternoon's paper: CHICAGO(AP)--The pictures may be a little fuzzy and they're in black and white, but Playboy magazine is betting that thousands of computer users will call up Playboy Online, a computerized version of the magazine. "It's like a teaser," Bill Paige, a spokesman for Playboy Enterprises Inc., said Monday night. "We're picturing a guy who is really into his computer and many not be exposed to the kind of things in Playboy." Playboy Online is available only to users of Apple Macintosh computers who also subscribe to one of several information networks such as the Source, Usenet, and Delphi. - # - I hope the part about Usenet isn't true, because the resulting controversy will be a pain in the, well, you know... Perhaps it was just an April 1 press release. :-) -- Joel West {ucbvax,ihnp4}!sdcsvax!jww (ihnp4!gould9!joel once I fix news) jww@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu if you must
