	Bill, I think the subject was scrolling; and then, how accessible
non-text pubs are to the blind.  As AR is a pub that uses scrolling and
even celebrates it, and is therefore more accessible to the blind (or
"speech-friendly," as they say, relative to speech recognition devices
that don't convey much when they say "image image image image") I think
the discussion was relevant.

	Let's talk about Knight-Ridder New Media.  Ever since Steve
Messere downloaded our archives and set up a special access page to it for
Knight-Ridder's Presslink service, I have been wondering what you guys are
up to.  It was my understanding that Knight-Ridder was going to offer
articles from the archives for resale at some point.  Any progress on
that?  

	If there hadn't already been dozens of articles about us, I might 
have agreed there was not much to write about, but at this point, 

Best,
