The government is preparing to launch a cyberspace exposition on the last day of 2000.

But unlike past expos, you won't need a suitcase, ticket or a hotel room. What's more, there'll be no elbowing your way through crowds and no long lines in front of a popular pavilion.

To attend this free expo, all you'll need is a personal computer and access to the Internet. It will be staged on a powerful server run by the government for a year starting Dec. 31.
