I think there is still a place for laminar wood pulp. Until the price
comes down on palmtop wireless modem web pc's, you can't read a web
zine in the john, which I still think is where most people do their
reading.
Also, just as an example, you can browse a National Geographic, that is
look at every picture and read most of the captions in five to ten
minutes. On the web, you'd be lucky to do three pages in the same time
frame.
Also, and I can't think of where I read it, might have been on the web,
the organization that registers domain names is resolving disputes over
names by giving the name to whoever can show that they registered the
name as a trademark. So, it is possible if Sea Kayaker has registered
the name as a trademark that if they do decide to get a domain name,
they might be able to preempt the Salty Dog.
