Yeah, but it's still basically just a catalog for atoms, not bits, right?
When I think "online porn industry" I don't think "catalog", I think of
that kid in Seattle who runs like 40% of the multi-billion-dollar industry
that started out as alt.binaries. (I forget his name, he was in Wired a
few years back - Something like Sam Kamchatka.)

The article's sort of stupid (it says that Howard Rheingold invented
"dildonics", which is absurd - it was Ted Nelson, and he called it
"teledildonics". Anyway. Heh.)
