Three times during the installation/coronation ceremony for a new Pope, a
cowled monk approaches him, guttering hemp-rope end in hand, to intone the
words
Sic transit gloria mundi,
So perishes [all] earthly glory.
This is the putative background for Paul Gilmartin's post, 'Sic transit
bookie (was Encryption)', in which he observes
I miss BookManager; the search facilities; the cross-links, the quick
display, etc.
I do not miss it or them. These facilities are available in Adobe's
product; and BookManager, whatever its historic merits, is now a moribund,
if not yet unfortunately quite dead, provincial Notable who should be
hastened into an honorable grave. Requiescat in pace!
