Re: computers vs print

[Ken Umbach <kumbach@UNLIMITED.NET>]

Hi ... it is interesting that you did find the book through the online
assistance of both an individual person and an online (Web-based) catalog.
Your point is well taken of course, but credit for this success belongs to
both domains: online AND print, as well as to your facility with both.
Personally, I think that is the shape of the future.

:-)

Ken Umbach
