Huh. I wonder whether there’s some anachronistic editing here. Mosaic wasn’t introduced until January 1993, and it was a while yet before the “Net” entered into popular parlance. In 1993, DAL-TEX would be far more likely to have gone into a proprietary service such as GEnie or Compuserve, or onto a BBS.
It’s certainly been asked before, but. I’ve always been wondering about the relation between Duke and Hunter Thompson. The nickname, looks and lifestyle are obviously there, but each of them sits on the opposite end of the political and moral spectrum. What is the background story?
All that brain power and concentration spent on something and someone is bound to stir up something juicy that will be interesting to many and relevant to none. Like the Enquirer.

Do the agents have a pee-pee tape on Duke?

The reference to an early precursor of the Net as we know it, than the “conspiracy theory” that is unfolding, seems to be more interesting here. :D

What was then so far ahead of the times now seems so far behind the times. Such is life.

“Cigarette-holder man” is a nice reference to a character on the X-Files. Or is it just a coincidence that nobody here is commenting on that tv show?

Wouldn’t Duke have looked younger in 1963, and have maybe had more hair?
