- Thanks very much to John Slatin for the potentially hypertextable
- litany of the uses to which hyper texts is (and will be) put. I
- will be saving this kind of information in my next move to encourage
- comp. instructors in this univ. to connect comp instruction with the
- 1990's--right after we get them all to connect writing with computers.
- Although I haven't dabbled in it, I can see that hypertext writing
- is really only writing with another dimension added. Each word
- or conept can be a black hole slipping into another dimension. I am
- also imagining hyptertext writing as discursive discourse with
- bottomless footnotes.
