9-20-2000 What is P2P?
First and foremost, the Web browser is going nowhere, like a cow in a crowded Calcutta square. Now that Microsoft owns the market, and the Web development world is thoroughly and permanently confused, there's no way to evolve HTML in any particular direction.
It's time for something new. There's a lot of power on the PC desktop that isn't being used. As I browse the Web on my 933 Mhz PC, the graph on the Performance Monitor barely blips. My 70 gigabyte hard drive has tons of free space. How to use all that power?
With the power of P2P comes the opportunity to create new customized tools for specialized communities, corporations, schools, publications, and pre-IPO Internet startups. Everyone can participate in the new wealth of the Internet, and we can forget the ways of the Empire, and give the power to write programs to the people.
Our motto will be "Not only do we let the users design the programs, we let them implement them too."
Then the technology industry will once again be about technology!

Little did he know Technology and P2P would be viewed as the scourge of Society Lawmakers and Corporations and made illegal in so many ways, that people would be persecuted and prosecuted for touching such Technology.
