Subject: The value of e-texts
Speaking of the value of e-texts from the perspective of brawn (as
against brain): As a graduate student writing an essay on Emile, I
wrote that Rousseau saw nothing wrong with the world that couldn't be
cured by lowering his sights. This seemed more insightful and/or more
graceful than most of what I wrote, so I suspected I had gotten it from
someone else. But search as I did, I couldn't find it anywhere. Had I
e-texts (of all the Rousseau criticism Yale political science students
read?), I would have had more confidence in my search--even with all the
difficulties that have been commented upon here. Or, had I the
Humanist, I could have conducted a different kind of electronic search.
Now that I've thought of it, has anyone else come across this comment on
Rousseau? Thanks. --Ed <HARRIS@CTSTATEU>

Bob Amsler is dead wrong about computers saving paper, if my own
experience is any guideline.
I CANNOT proofread on a terminal, even though I have a 19" monitor and a
WYSIWYG text editor that lets me see exactly what I will print.
Typically I print out two copies of anything I want to look good before
I send out the final copy.
