substitute1993: Maybe we could someday have services on this thing, Tim!
1995: We plan to offer services of various kinds on websites.
1998: There are services available, but the free ones don't work very well. Soon the world of paid web services will be a reality.
1999: There are services available for pay! Oops, we went under.
2003: There are no free services. There are web services for pay and they don't work. This is the future. LICK IT UP.
