I talked with the publisher, Joel Kolbensvik, at some length.  He has
promised to get back to me with a decision soon - and after consulting
with the author - but so far has not.  He had already been contemplating
ways to make the article more widely available, and had been tracking
discussions elsewhere.  Of course he already has the article in
electronic form, and is thinking of making it available in various w.p.
formats.

Subject:     E-Version of Halio article.



Someone announced through Humanist that they would try to get
permission to distribute the Halio article so that the debate over
IBM vs. MAC could continue on a more informed level. I thought that
was a good idea and noticed that my secretary had some time. I do
have an E-Version of the article ready to go if the permission can
be obtained. Last week Kinkos Copy Center obtained a permission for
me from Harper Row over the phone to photocopy several chapters of
a book for my mega-course of 400 students in Jewish Studies. Perhaps
a phone permission could be obtained for the Halio article. Will the
party who volunteered to do so please step forward?

On reading aloud:
     I can no longer recall the source, but a professor of mine in Germany
said that in classical and medieval times, all reading was aloud, and even
had a story of a monk who, having developed the ability to read silently,
was suspected of being a witch.
     Does anyone have the source of this story, or a refutation of it?
