Net.Weirdness: MOOs and MUDs and MUSH, oh my!

Cleaned up cover of the book by Andrew Busey

First, some definitions: MUD: Multi-User Dungeon; MOO: MUD, object-oriented; MUSH: Muti-User Shared Hallucination, though the H is also spelled out as Hack, Habitat, and Holodeck. They started as text-based only, then things advanced and it got graphical.
