Cyberspace = computer internetworks

no, wait...

Cyberspace = an internetworked user environment

hmmm, no, because...

Cyberspace = simulations using combinations of 3D optical, aural, and
             tactile output

hmm grumble, I know...

Cyberspace = A William Gibson creation, "the matrix", fiction, a dangerous
             VR created by networked computers in the dark future

maybe...

Cyberspace = A groovy romantic term used by Usenetters in lieu of more
             accurate but _square_ sounding terms that aren't as likely
             to be published

nah...

I wonder how long till people start putting "Cyberspace" in RFCs?
