"Ben, are you going out with me tonight?" Julia leans against the
doorway of Ben's office-at-home. She knows what the answer is
going to be.
Ben is seated at his desktop multi-media production center, working.
He glances over his shoulder, "No, .. honey, I have a lot to do here."
Multiple video screens show pieces of World-Wide-Web
graphics-in-progress. One screen looks like television news -- scenes
of economic hardship -- people out-of-work....
Dejected, she turns away and heads for her bedroom.
