drinks a night -- for three weeks. After three or four articles, I'd have so many new ideas spinning off I'd have to stop and scribble them before they popped. From: thwang@cory.Berkeley.EDU (HWANG TSONG-WEN) Path: cory.Berkeley.EDU!thwang A very cool book. No hangovers the next day, too. So will there be a stack of the book or what? A hypertext form of the book, given its content, seems a logical step. Depending on time and resources, this could be anything from a hot-text version of the book, with index and so on per the '89 Hypertext stack, to a CD-ROM interactive multimedia presentation with high-quality sound and video. Ideal would be some interface style, gimmick -- _something_ -- within each article linking it to the theme of that section, plus minor links to related articles in other sections. Oops, sorry; my dreams are showing. Frankly, I don't care what form. As soon as the book is digital so I can annotate and cross-reference the articles to my heart's content, I'll stop ripping -- er, flipping pages to follow up an idea in another article suggested by the current one. If Apple has something in the works already, great. I'll wait, patiently drooling. If not -- what're you waiting for?!
