- Mervyn, I'm ashamed of you. If we had all taken this approach, there would
- have been no NB 1 or 2 or 3, let alone 4. After all, computers, let alone
- e-mail networks, are hardly necessary changes; the world of academia did
- fine with typewriters and mimeographs, or with a nice stylus and parchment
- for all that. Granted that NB 4 is not The-Reign-of-God-on-Earth, it beats
- a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
