Thanks for the thoughts, and I have been thinking along these lines likewise. Medium is the message; but the place of the real book is not yet past. The difference, of course, is that a "real" book is serially accessed, just as a tape is.

But the thread here is making a Mudcat book --- or at least making literature from the amzing matrices of meaning that are the 'Cat's legacy.

This needs some pondering -- a multimedia extravaganza would be interesting, with animations and music thrown in. Worlds of possibility there. Maybe we have three projects in here...
