- As old timers on the list may recall, Nb used to be a supported program in Ohio
- State's college of humanities. Now we have a network and an attempt to dictate
- how we interact with a central office and a "big" computer. So a bunch of us
- are still mavericks and refuse to use the "approved" software in favor of NB,
- simply because it--and not the network--meet the needs of scholars who are text
- oriented. A bunch of us have simply refused to knuckle under and switch.
