robinturnerI just downloaded a cute program called TDFSB, wich I assume stands for "Three Dimensional File System Browser". It enables you to fly around a 3D model of your computer's file system in a way which is exactly how I visualised "cyberspace" when I first read Gibson's Neuromancer:
I'd assumed this would be a nice toy but have no practical use, then I noticed that humungous obelisk entitled "neohomes.tar.gz". This explained why I had so little space left on my harddrive - I'd made a massive backup file and forgotten to move it off the computer.
And now, I evilly imprison my students in cyberspace ....

3. If you had the opportunity to become a vampire, would you take it, and if so, would you be a BTVS-type vampire or an Anne Rice-type vampire? If not, why not?
4. If you could make any book into a film, which one would you choose, and why?
