********************** basenote drift **********************************

Jerry Mander's book (Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television)
was excellent, and gave many people a more thoughtful basis for the
instinctive gut-level fear&loathing response to TV.

The recent issue of "Whole Earth Review" (reincarnation of the
*sniff* recently deceased "CoEvolution Quarterly" plus the
"Whole Earth Software Review") has a number of philosophical articles
on the theme of "Computers as Poison", leading off with one by
Jerry Mander.   

I highly recommend this issue - they have managed to keep the flames
limited and humorous, and have raised a number of good questions
(like any good subversive should... :->)
