fantastic.

i was beginning to wonder, since they had
never replied to the open letter i sent them.

it would still be nice if we could just _buy_ a
hard-drive from 'em with all the books on it.
imagine how many libraries and schools and
universities would leap to make that purchase.
and the good will -- and proof of the value of
their project -- would benefit google greatly...

anyway, now we can get to work on doing o.c.r.,
and developing some automatic clean-up apps,
in order to create a cyberlibrary in z.m.l. format...

unless google wants to do _that_ for us too!       ;+)
