Cory's comments about technology may be not particularly scholarly, but I must support her in that the dollars spent to support acquisition and maintenance of new technology come from an ever shrinking pool of funds for the arts, humanities and education in general. She makes an important point and one I feel well worth discussing. Those of us old enough to remember "the military industrial complex" were taught to question issues of agency, entitlement, etc. and even more specifically to follow the money. Perhaps it would be wise to give some though to why we engage technology in the way we do and at what cost? Doug
