[Air-l] Data

[Irene Berkowitz]

Justin,
I would also be interested in any posts any ideas in this
area.  On the other hand it is very interesting to observe
where there are significant differences between cybergeography
and physical geograpghy relative to high density centers.  I
think this is very "fertile ground" (pun intended), for
further research.
