Upcoming online conferences 

  All PEOPLE Online Conferences, unless otherwise specified, begin at
  9 p.m. EST and are available on both Pathfinder and in the
  CompuServe Conference Center (Go CONFERENCE). Coming soon: 

 Feb. 4: "Deconstructing O.J.," with "Inside America's Courts"
 co-hosts GREGG JARRETT and JAMI FLOYD. 

 With the O.J. Simpson civil trial verdict within sight, join these
 experts for the ultimate O.J. debriefing. For the past 18 months,
 Stanford law professor Jami Floyd's specialty has been the coverage
 of both the criminal and civil trials of O.J. Simpson. Emmy
 Award-winning Gregg Jarrett, meanwhile, has been a featured guest on
 "Entertainment Tonight," "Larry King Live," "Oprah," and "Dateline
 NBC." 

 Feb. 6: "The Field Guide to North American Males" author MARJORIE
 INGALL. 

 Black turtleneck-clad male sighted in urban habitat carrying worn
 copy of "Gravity's Rainbow"... Before you even *think* about letting
 your heart go THUMP, better pull out your copy of this indispensable
 male directory by Ingall, a former senior writer for Sassy Magazine.
 She's created not only a wicked and funny feminist parody of the
 classic Audobon guide, but also the perfect antidote for anyone who
 has overdosed on "The Rules." 

 Feb. 11: The New Yorker magazine's technology writer JOHN SEABROOK,
 author of "Deeper: My Two-Year Odyssey in CyberSpace" (Simon &
 Schuster). 

 Seabrook's is a travel memoir -- of sorts. It describes his journey
 through the on-line world at the very moment that the medium itself
 was moving from geeky hobby to pop culture mainstay. Among the topics
 are Bill Gates: Man or microprocessor? Flame Wars: Cyber-terrorism or
 human beings in need of a life? Online communities: Sim City or Sin
 City? Ask John Seabrook -- and win a copy of his fascinating book.
