He hasn't, but judging from "Hackers, "The Net", and various other
movies/tv shows whereby a character needs a byte-sized deus-ex-machina
quick, there's already been a plethora of bad movies about the net, not
to mention the misconceptions they perpetuate (instant access to extremely
sensitive records, huge (and quickly downloading) graphics, etc.).  No
wonder everyone thinks the Internet is going to give 'em every bit o' info
they need as fast as they want it whenever they want it.

As for the country song, how's 'bout "I Lost My Baby to a 15-Year Old 
Sysop on the Net"?
