In late 1995 (sorry I don't have the issue information,
it's on-line somewhere at
InfoWorld)
he wrote a column titled:
in which he discussed
several of the descriptive names in use for the Internet
and the World Wide Web.
He doesn't like cyberspace, prefering
Infobahn.
I wrote him an email telling him he was too late, we were already calling it cyberspace (and metaverse, for you Snow Crash fans). I was more than a little pleased to get a thoughtful response of resignation back within a few hours. I love cyberspace!, especially its infobahn!
That's the references, fans. Metcalfe is one of our finest Republicans. I respect him, but who do you know who calls this new frontier the "infobahn"? Now, REALLY?
