We have a busy agenda tonight.  Ben is going to bring some software to
demonstrate, assuming he can get it to run.  There are a number of
presentations to go including animation, security, publications and
pornography.  The first two have posted their materials on the WEB for
us already.  The animations will be on video, and might take longer, so
perhaps we'll leave them to the end or postpone them to Wednesday at 6.

We also need to review a bit for the final (Ben and I each sent out
review information which is on the WEB site also).  So let's ask
everyone to be brief in their presentations.  If the groups are well
organized, it is possible for one or two persons to present for the
whole group - it is not a requirement that each individual talk.  Unless
things move very quickly, we will have to do some presentations on
Wednesday from 6 to 7:30, then have the test at 7:45.  We don't need 3.5
hours for the test, so that is fine for me, but it is soemtimes hard for
students to focus on anything else on the last day.

There are also several articles of interest in today's times:
Priceline.com has gotten a patent for its WEB business model, a
precedent of great importance for WEB commerce:

There is a story about the use of Affiliate Networks in WEB Marketing,
with Amazon.com's affiliate network as a prime example.

Another story is about Cybercash's lessons in the WEB security business.
http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/98/08/biztech/articles/10cybercash.html

It offers a comparison of the "digital wallet" and the "secure sockets
layer" approaches to WEB security.

We'll do our best to pull all this together tonight!
