        Here's an article from the Post about how peer-to-peer software
development is all of a sudden a hot ticket to venture capital. 
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A59699-2000Jul17.html  He
does screw up the analogy* with Napster and Yahoo! and ultimately
concludes that p2p is anarchistic and evil.  Is "p2p" the next wave?  I
don't get it.  I mean, I get the Gnutella concept and its attractions,
but I just don't get why all of a sudden there are a dozen startups out
there imitating Gnutella.

*(Napster is actually more analogous to Yahoo! than not.  Yahoo! is not
a central information repository, it's an index.  Napster is an index,
too.)
