The Java theory: the Internet might someday replace the personal computer - but for now only conventional software can get you where you need to go

Article Abstract:

Java, a programming language, may someday allow easy information retrieval. For now, a variety of DOS-based programs are recommended, including Agenda, askSam, and Search Manager 2. The Boolean searching system of Lexis-Nexis is criticized, and its possible replacement by Britannica's Propaedia is analyzed.

Article Abstract:
