They may help with your studies, but Internet computers in college have an
unwanted side effect... harassment.
A survey of 400 colleges found two-thirds had incidents of e-mail sexual
harrassment... Almost as many had a problem with hackers... and a third had
students who were victimized by electronic hate messages.
Good news for some home computer users worried about the so-called millenium
