In article <4219@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu> garry@oak.cadif.cornell.edu
(Garry Wiegand) makes many excellent points for continuing the discussion of
"elementary" issues.  Well said, Garry!

I'd like to add one thing to his points:  "going to the library" is not
necessarily even a viable option for many people.  Here in LA, for
example, one would think that there are lots of places to go for
graphics publications.  However, important parts of UCLA's collection
only go back five years;  USC has similar deficiencies.  The best
graphics collection is apparently at UC Irvine;  depending on where you
live, that can be a 2 to 3 hour drive from home.  For someone who
doesn't live in a big city with lots of universities, I could imagine that
going to the library for graphics literature could even become a two-day
project.
