Norman,

As you say, no apparent untoward undertone in that statement. As Dave

Hi Tom,

Thank you for the interesting quotes.

Slightly to redress the balance, the following quote comes from the IBM
Systems Journal http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sj/404/marwick.html

'---------------------------------------
Today, of course, intranets and the Internet are ubiquitous, and we are
rapidly approaching the situation where all the written information needed
by a person to do his or her job is available on line. However, that is
not
to say that it can be used effectively with the tools currently available.
'---------------------------------------
Given the source and context, one has to assume no pejorative intent.

Anyway, guess I am not alone <g

Not alone, except in ubiquitous pre-eminence!

Norman

Your absolutely correct.

Interestingly in most of the few dictionaries I queried, the example
phrases
mostly seemed to be associated with a negative theme:

"plodded through the shadows fruitlessly like an ubiquitous spook"
Joseph
Heller.

"the repetitiveness, the selfsameness, and the ubiquity of modern mass
culture" Theodor Adorno

In spite of the ubiquitous beggars, gypsies and 'naked urchins', Skopje
was
an attractive town in the early part of the century.
--Anne Sebba, Mother Teresa: Beyond the Image

Airborne gambling, shopping and videoconferencing may all be ubiquitous
in
the future.
--Peter H. Lewis, "The Cybercompanion," New York Times, February 7, 1999

Adding to my perplexity, this lack of clarity even appeared evident
among
the best and brightest sociologists, historians, literary scholars, art
historians, those working in cultural studies, American Studies, and
journalism; the problem looked to be ubiquitous.
--Michael Kammen, American Culture, American Tastes

Maybe many things that are omnipresent are generally undesirable.

Anyway, guess I am not alone <g
