<VV> The future of publishing?

[The Reinharts]

Bruce, What a great collection. Wouldn't it be interesting if 20 years ago, 
someone started scanning these into a file, to put in a server, so everyone 
could enjoy looking at them? That is what should have been done. Is it too 
late? The reading enjoyment and the information contained within these 
publications would be immeasurable if accessible on the web. Wouldn't you 
agree?

Jamie
