Tony,

I have been out of communication lately.  It seems that the mailer has 
been bouncing my e-mail when it hits the fire-wall.

Briefly, what I'm looking to create is a document that covers the 
following:

What is the internet.
	4-40 million users (doubling every 3-6 months)
		(different polling methods)
	4 million web-pages.
	3 million servers.
	1 million public, private, and corporate networks.
	2 million supporting CS engineers and MIS professionals.
Techology.
	TCP/IP - (50,000 foot level view)
	The WEB (Friendly interface in 31 flavors)
	Unix based Servers (historically, currently 99%of the market)
	Freely Distributed Source Code - Simtel, FSF, SunSite...
	Value-added proprietary features (GUI driven configuration file editors).
	Security (Fire-walls, Encryption, and Authentication)
Economics.
	Access Providers
	Common Carriers
	Servers
	Contributors
	Advertizing
	Banks and E-Cash
	Royalty Distribution Systems
The McGraw-Hill Strategy.
	McGraw-Hill as Publisher.
	S&P as "Premium service".


Any feedback?  What would you like to work on?

	Rex Ballard
	Standard & Poor's/McGraw-Hill
