...grim as it may sound, perhaps it is time to start door-dropping crime reports and warnings or adding the information to our dining hall table-tents or to the "fas" log-in text. Some may see this as alarmist, and the administration might quiver at the thought of all that negative publicity. But the unacceptable alternative is to let students wander blithely through areas where violent crimes have repeatedly occured...

Weary Netizens know all too well that browsing the World Wide Web these days is less like surfing than like crawling: data drips like molasses onto your computer screen, sometimes taking several minutes to create a single page of text and graphics.

Over a few dozen of those code-filled afternoons in 1993, Andreessen and his youthful collaborators put the finishing touches on the Model T of Web-browsing programs. They called it Mosaic, because it combined all the pieces of the Net--text, audio, images--onto "pages" that could be viewed from anywhere in the world. Mosaic was the first glimpse of a multimedia future that giants such as Microsoft had been predicting but not delivering. And it changed everything. Among the digerati, the question "Where were you when you first saw Mosaic...
