...they also might have been wrong, as they had been a year and a half earlier, when the two rookies had made some dumb mistakes. Even Linus Pauling, the world's greatest chemist, had blown his own "solution" to DNA a couple of months before. So while their double-helix model seemed to make biochemical sense and agreed with what was already known, a wiser man might have toned down his rhetoric...
...story office structure and spire and other new towering buildings are completed, we might as well paint a huge target on their sides because they are sure to be an objective for any ambitious terrorist.

Like a lot of doomed info-age ideas, it had its own buzzword: convergence, a concept that predicted the blurring of boundaries between smart boxes (the PC) and dumb ones (the TV). Problem was, people loved their idiot box just the way it was, idiotic. So the PC stayed in the living room, a disappointed Microsoft renamed WebTV as msn TV in 2001, and convergence was relegated to the Internet-boom graveyard, next to Pets.com and retiring before...
