But hey, perhaps we should do away with print in favor of braille. I mean why should we sighted people enjoy being able to carry an entire reference work in a single book? For example, why should I be able to fit an entire bible into a cargo pocket? It isn't like I would ever read the entire thing in a single sitting anyway right? Damn the forests, we are all going braille!!! ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
