No, I said that they thought of the web, (this was after 1999/possibly early 
2000), but didn't think of the obvious - the yellow pages.

Again, I don't wish to debate the basic premise of the film. I just wish to point 
out the idealistic naivete of the filmers, which I believe the makers of the film 
hadn't intended.
