I got a second high-speed data line to my home a few weeks ago. For $60 a month, Bell Atlantic's digital subscriber loop supplies an always-on, 1.6 megabit/second link to the Internet. This makes a page on the Web as instantly accessible as one stored on my hard drive. When I switch on my PC, I switch on the Web. Next step: Unload software and hardware from my desktop. I used to plan car trips using a CD-based program; now it's easier just to open up www.expediamaps.com.
