PreText Magazine (www.pretext.com) has launched with a first issue on the 
topic of libraries & technology. Quite a few librarians and leading 
lights have been interviewed or otherwise included in the stories.
"The Librarian is Dead, Long Live the Librarian" wins my award for
personal motto wanna-be. (http://www.pretext.com/oct97/features/story4.htm)

I was intrigued by the interview with Brewster Kahle 
(http://www.pretext.com/oct97/columns/intview.htm) and his description of 
his new product, Alexa. Kahle says that Alexa answers the question:
"Where did other people go after visiting this site?"  I've not been able 
to download Alexa (my system isn't compatible.) Has anyone on this list 
tried it? Would you report your experience?
