More sales.  I'm well aware that many people (my wife, the editor, included) 
don't *want* to read stuff onscreen, yeah, I know, it's a strange concept, 
but there y'go, so we're (probably) always going to produce print in some
degree, that's ok.

Ummmmm, pardon?

The thing that I first thought of when this came up was that, if/when we
go belly up, or at least stop, this solution leaves all those people with
nothing.  At least the people with paper will still have something.  So
if we deliver them files, they'll always have what they paid for regardless 
of what we do.

In fact I found an Australian site that came up with this solution, with
security.  They were selling space I think, you could put your 
book/publication/whatever, up there and they take care of everything.

Then there's Charlie's point.  I agree at lot with that too.  I don't like
the drift towards everything being on the web and going back towards dumb
terminals on your desk.  It's the big brother solution, "they" get to keep
control... hmmmmm.

Thanks! It's very much appreciated.
