But... but... that's just the problem. You're the one dumbing things down. Almost none of this wonderous new technology actually does anything for the intellectual content, but merely panders to the MTV generations inability to respond to a (non-comic) book. I can forgive your generations preference of a pretty pie-chart over a simple percentage, but I don't accept your trying to tell me that your education-inflicted handicap is progress. And you still haven't explained why the blind subscriber is of so little importance that maginalizing them further is inevitable and unavoidable. -Kary On 2 Feb 99, at 7:14, Stephen C.
