- I have not worried too much about telling people that NBI is a small company
- and therefore more vulnerable than a giant like Microsoft. I suppose it
- matters if you have a need somehow always to be out on the edge of new
- technology. My attitude toward the technology, however, is that is is
- wonderful in helping me get my work done as the technology is now. Should NBI
- go out of business, then some years donw the road some other firm might fill
- the niche NB fills now, and we might want to convert. For the time being,
- enjoy the help in getting the work of a text oriented scholar done.
