EDITOR NOTES
IT'S HAPPENING IN CYBERSPACE
I have written countless editorials about the BBS (bulletin boards through your
modem), the Information Super Highway, Web Sites, Internet Conferencing, Cu-See-Me
Conferencing and now the list goes on. Many readers have expressed an interest
in all of the above and more, but many do not own a computer and cannot justify
the three or four thousand dollar expense so they go without. They would love
to have an Internet address, an E-Mail address and all the toys that go with it,
but just can't swing it.
Well, hold on to your hats, because I found the solution. A very close friend
is distributing those little set-top computers you hook up to your television
set and the cost is less than five hundred dollars. What I liked about the one
I got is that I hooked it up to the TV in the bedroom and got right into the internet
with a tiny remote box from our bed. That's right, we surfed the net in bed. Because
we are working on a web site for Jock and our sister magazines, we thought we
would check out the competition, knowing, of course, we would definitely out-design,
out-model and outshine them.
But once in Cyberspace, we typed in on the little keyboard that pops up on the
screen a few keywords: GAY ... ADULT ... NUDE ... MODELS. There were over 100,000
choices and we picked STRIPTEASE from the first 25 listed. WOW! The first sample
was Justin Chase taking off his clothes. A tease for sure, but you could purchase
the video right there on the screen. But what a delight, having the privilege
of seeing what people with three or four thousand dollar computers are seeing,
just using this little box! And those people with their computers are looking
at that tiny little screen and here we have a big screen, ... my own TV set! Why
not? Do you realize how big the dicks look on a 60-inch screen?! Plus, again,
it's cheaper.
We're talking to the publisher about Jock Classic Videos being made available
through our Web Site under construction and in our magazine. Our art department
is already designing 3-D graphics, little quick-time movie clips, and a host of
surprises for when Jock goes into Cyberspace. We decided to start with Jock because
it is the pioneer magazine that gave many of us our first erection at a newsstand
many, many years ago. If you have any interest or suggestions, you may call me
directly at 818-780-3960. Or, if you happen to own a modem and computer, drop
me some E-Mail — [email protected]. Think of all those CD-ROM movies that
are available that you couldn't get because you didn't have a computer. Now you
can! I am discussing with the publisher the possibility of even having Jock Classic
CD-ROMs. They are so tiny and thin we could even consider stuffing one inside
the Jock magazine, huh? If enough people react to the above and I have it in writing
or on the E-Mail service, I think it would definitely help me convince the publisher
to seriously consider it.
To go one step further, there is a new craze that is sweeping the country and
the world, and that is the CU-SEE-ME reflectors. This is the little camera that
looks like a tennis ball which you hook up to your computer. You dial up a reflector
and seven little screens pop up on your monitor, showing people from somewhere
in the world who are looking at you while you are looking at them, thus the name
CU-SEE-ME (for sure, with this equipment, you will have to comb your hair before
you turn on your camera and computer). Do I have to tell you the possibilities
with this system?
However, no matter what, you have to remember that magazines were threatened when
videos became available, and we survived. We survived because there will always
be the need to look at the page in your own hands and see an 8x10 of the hottest
man in town, showing everything he has to offer. There will always be a need for
Jock, and we will always be around.
