   An interesting article in today's NY Times:   
   MapQuest and Other Internet Zombies, by Shira Ovide.   
      
   It's about internet programs from the 1990's that fell out of favor a   
   long time ago, but are still being used.  An excerpt:   
   "More than 17 million Anericans still use MapQuest ... Ask Jeeves, a   
   web search engine that started before Google, still has fans ... There   
   is something about pioneers that shaped the early internet, lost their   
   cool and dominance, and essentially carved out a niche.".   
      
   You can read the article and the reasons these old programs have   
   persisted at,

   Alt fan cecil-adams is a zombie and I'm posting to it with another   
   zombie program, Agent.
