[Air-l] The Internet Is Changing The Way Canadians Socialize

[Andrew Russell]

Just a small correction - the Perot quote occured during a debate just 
before the November 1992 U.S. Presidential election - see 
http://bushlibrary.tamu.edu/papers/1992/92101904.html, about 1/3 down 
the page (or find for "NAFTA" or "giant sucking sound").

The exchange between Perot, Bush, and Clinton on NAFTA makes for 
interesting reading (for those interested in the information industries 
in the USA) in light of current debates about American companies moving 
high-tech jobs overseas.
