that old info superhighway: even its hype is hyped

``` Date: Wed, 31 Aug 94 22:57:21 -0400 From: Philip Greenspun Subject: catch up on the latest info superhighway simile

"As the fading light of a dying day filtered through the window blinds, Roger stood over his victim with a smoking .45, surprised at the serenity that filled him after pumping six slugs into the bloodless tyrant that had mocked him day after day, and then he shuffled out of the office with one last look back at the shattered computer terminal lying there like a silicon armadillo left to rot on the information highway."
