I've been staying out of this electronic journal discussion, because I can rightly be accused of bias, but I can't resist sending you a few excerpts from a New York Times article. It seems that the magazine "Wired" is popular with technophiles who use its computer bulletin board daily to debate issues raised in the magazine. But after trying to read an electronic version of the magazine on their computer screens, "even the most devoted computer users express a preference for the nonwired version of Wired. They post electronic notes praising paper. "'The print medium gives me an artifact that I can delve into whenever or wherever,' one user explained. "Another advised the editors: 'Don't try to emulate the print version here. The paper thing is working just fine.'" Etc. Nevertheless, if there's a way to do something cooperatively with a print publisher--as one of the people on the list suggested--then I'd definitely like to discuss possibilities. I'm spending lots (probably too much) time learning about what is going on in the world of electronic publishing, so please don't think of me as a luddite!
