ARTS & FARCES internet : Radio community subversion: "Personal computers infiltrated organizations through the back door. Someone brought one in to make his or her job easier and the notion spread, like a virus. RCS is going to infiltrate organizations the same way. To paraphrase John Gilmore, workgroups are going to start to recognize IT departments as damage and route around them with tools and platforms like Radio and RCS."

Aren't we in for interesting times? One question worth thinking about in this context is whether the corporate immune system has gotten smarter after the PC experience. How will companies treat this new organism - as pathogen or symbiote?
