"Undercover on the Dark Side of Cyberspace. On-Line FBI
Agents Troll for Those Who Prey on Children."
The FBI unit now has more than $1 million worth of
equipment, including high-speed modems and large data
storage devices. In cases where suspects' computers have
been seized, the agents have run up against
password-protected and encrypted files, which sometimes
have taken FBI technicians hundreds of hours to decode.

"Pobox and the magic cookie."
Which company will have the greatest effect on the
development of the Internet this year? My answer is
neither Microsoft nor Netscape. It is a tiny new company
called Pobox.com. Its product consists of a simple
forwarding service that is an electronic equivalent of
a post office box. This service allows people to give
out an e-mail address that is independent of where they
work or where they choose to buy Internet access.
