I'm happy for the obvious reasons, but also pleased that he went the open source route with the paper. Here's my post on the paper, with links to the report and information about the image Mick created for it. http://www.gomaya.com/glyph/archives/001617.html Best Dave On 2/15/06, Andy Carvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's indeed very odd that someone would want to prohibit online research > given the number of excellent onlineresearch databases available. > Meanwhile, the growing number of online research journals are a goldmine > of content.
