The latest Internet connection has 21 speeds and two wheels. Online businesses have started to deliver books, videos, other "stand-alone" media products, and snack food directly from net to dorm rooms. Kozmo.com (www.kozmo.com) and other companies arc using bicycle delivery to go the extra mile and make the final connection to dorm or apartment. Now you can download a pizza. Web sites are desperately losing money in an attempt to build up their all-important base of customers. That's a boon for the networked student shopper, lazy or not. If you're the type of person who puts empty business reply envelopes in the mail just to make companies lose money, you can have Kozmo.com hand-deliver a 60 cent candy bar or some other cheap snack food. (They don't charge for delivery, which is available in Boston, New York, Neat Net Tricks San Francisco, and Seatde, and promised within an hour of By )d(k li-.ins ordering.) If you want to actually benefit, though, watch INVERT SELECTION (PC) for online specials that make for good deals - even when Picture this: You're staring at a bunch of files in a folder and you don't consider the delivery gimmick. you want to do something to all but a couple of them.

And the town-crier roared in a booming voice as he unrolled the scroll, "Hear Ye! Hear Ye! A proclamation from the wise and ancient Lord British!" The peasants gathered with straining ears and the Dragons sat perched upon the mountain tops licking their jowls. The faithful had come to hear the words but in their hearts their faith forsook them. The crier declared to the denizens of Britannia the promises of their Lord. The Avatar shall return. The eight virtues shall have prominence. The world shall have realism.
