Hello Goo;

    Once upon a time, I got all excited about these new-fangled
    computers and this thing called the internet. I was in grad school,
    it was 1989. Well, I kept bugging people about it, telling them how
    big it was going to be. (back then, the Internet was just a black
    screen, and you typed in commands in Unix, and the connections were
    1200 bits per second... take a half a day to get a typical web page
    to load, not exaggerating). Well, I was shunned by the art
    department. In fact, they would practically cross the street to avoid
    me. 

    On to graduation. It was 1993, and I got real pushy about my new
    idea that art students should take some business courses like book
    keeping. I went so far as to put those ideas into my teaching
    philosophy. Well, I didn't get a lot of offers for teaching
    positions, even though my curicculum vitae was pretty impressive. 

    Moral of the story... all things in good time, but a prophet is
    always despised in his own time.
