rom: Thanks a lot. Looks like a good read. I’ll keep the book name in mind for my next book purchase. Maybe I learn Russian right after I master perl (read: probably never) :)

Ariel: I had to look up the reference for “Algie can fly” :). About that article link: I drive by that sign quite a lot. I think it’s kind of funny, actually.

There’s a story about such a future where all advertising is banned. It’s not as bright as it may seem to be. The story is ‘The Girl Who Was Plugged In’ by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Tiptree,_Jr . If by any chance you read russian, i’ll be happy to supply you a link ;)
