- In fact, wouldn't this sort of high-tech publishing cut off most
- everyone outside of North America and Western Europe? I was under the
- impression that email/LaTeX/PostScript were relatively rare elsewhere.
- (Many places have one or the other, but not all three; LaTeX is probably
- not an issue since it's free and runs on anything you have, but the
- other two are more problematic, as I understand it.)
