<P>&gt; Return to <A HREF="index.html">Forms, Examples page</A></FONT></P>

Convert the following paragraph to a bulleted list:

Science fiction evolved from earlier genres and has kept some
of their conventions. These include an isolated society,
whether an island, a lost valley or a distant planet; a 
morally significant language, such as Orwell's Newspeak;
documents aht play an important role in the story, like the
Book of Brooklyn in Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, an ideological
attitude toward sex, as in Huxley's Brave New World; and 
an inquisitive outsider, like Genly Ai in Le Guin's The
Left Hand of Darkness.



Rewrite the following paragraph using one or more bulleted lists:

Mailing lists are a wonderful, horrible, facinating, droning,
time-saving, time-wasting way to get information on anything,
everything and nothing of value. Confused? Here's the story: The
most popular electronic lists are called Listservs, a trademarked
name that comes from a software program developed in 1986 that 
makes it easy to post email to a group of subscribers. Others are
Listproc and Majordomo.
