But surprise, surprise, like everything else 'round here it's not all that easy to find. Here's some guidance on what's out there and what's good. Some are pointers to other net resources. Some address broader issues of the net. Some of it's free, some cost $$$. FEEDBACK Y'ALL: This is just an initial pass. Let us know about any other good journals or newsletters discussing the Internet, paid or free. Send details and copies to higgins@dorsai.dorsai.org and savetz@northcoast.com.
