The following is from the Chronicle of Higher Education and was reported in
EDUPAGE and INFOSYS:

HIGH-TECH RESIDES IN HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARIES A new survey by the
American Electronics Association's National Information
Infrastructure Task Force reports that tomorrow's college students
likely will not have had much experience with computer technology
when they show up on campus, unless they've spent a lot of time
hanging out with the school librarian. Only 59% of teachers surveyed
reported access to multimedia computers, and only 20% had an
Internet connection. However, half of the school librarians surveyed
had Internet accounts and 85% had multimedia computers. (Chronicle
of Higher Education 3/31/95 A19)

B&M is moving in the wrong direction.
