Eero,

that is a good way out of this strange discussion we were having.... 
but to this particular argument...

yes you are right. this is what Gibson said... but that does not mean 
that we were "hallucinating about Cyberspace", but debating the idea 
of "Cyberspace as a hallucination"...  and this is something 
different... why.. well see all the postings and esp. Don Slaters 
one..

best
nilz

ps. I hope to see you in Sussex, maybe for the roundtable on space 
for a longer discussion...
