    No, it's not.

    Use dead trees at your own choice.

    I put that version there (hi, i own bespoke.org)
    so that:

    a: people with vision impairments can use it
    b: people who want to print it can
    c: people who hate the screaming green colors
    of the viridian site can look at a black+white
    version.

    The admonishment is there to make you think.
    All options are open to you, it's your choice if you use them or not.

    Think about that.

    dgonz,
    read his last few books. The cyberpunk thing is dead, gone, buried. It has been assimilated by mass media and is no longer interesting.

    The topics that have driven his last few books are ones we WILL have to deal with in the next 100 years. Greying populations, wildly oscillating weather patterns, etc. Great writing about topics with meat on their bones.

    he's been bruces@well.com for years.

    Lesson for today, grasshopper:
    Look first, Think second, Open big mouth third.

    cheers
