Case the Cowboy

After class yesterday I realized that we didn't really talk much about Case as a cowboy and the fact that Gibson chose that term for the people who make a living hacking into cyberspace. I think someone mentioned how cyberspace could be seen as the wild west as it is a new frontier, and someone also mentioned how the physical descriptions of Case aren't what a reader would normally associate with cowboys. This got me to thinking that Case's work as a hacker into cyberspace doesn't really seem to fit with the term cowboy.
