Tim <<Can you imagine what would have happened w/, say, Martin Luther's 95 Theses if he'd been able to post them on the Internet instead of on the door of the Wittenburg Church? (Can you say "flame war"? <g>)… But as with all starving radicals… would Luther, et. al. have had sufficient computer equipment/resources/capital to afford to be on the Internet. New technologies continue to change history. Written history as we know it (up to 1950) has often been extracted from documents, and letters of the famous. With the proliferation of electronic mail and the internet, can you imagine your historian compiling "The Collected E-Mails of Timothy Liebe"? Brave new world! –Patrick
