...concentration of people who use the Internet at home and at work than any other urban area in the world. That makes northern Virginia America's main IT node a strategic target as important as the Pentagon. It also explains why so many big companies, such as MCI Worldcom, Network Solutions and America Online (which hopes to own Time Warner by the end of the year), are happy to be in the neighborhood...
TechNet and CapNet insist that they complement each other. AOL, for instance, belongs to both camps because of its merger with Netscape. Still, the two Nets are likely to clash occasionally. CapNetters such as MCI WorldCom, Network Solutions, Teligent and Proxicom are heavily involved in the Internet and telecommunications, while TechNet is a little more software oriented.

Bush's coming-out bash, thoroughly jazzing up the Texas delegation, their little yellow Stetsons bobbing to the twangy, big-backbeat fake-country jam. Too bad for you. It was the perfect lead-in to "The Sky's the Limit," Bush's getting-to-know-me film, a video invite to the line dance he's offering to take the country on for the next...
