Featured Quote:

"Peer-to-Peer technology has taken a lot
of abuse lately, but the struggles of a few hastily
launched startups don't alter the fact that distributed,
decentralized approaches offer benefits. The distributed
nature of the Internet is the ultimate proof.

- Thomas E. Weber, E-World Columnist,
Wall Street Journal, April 23, 2001
