[Athen] [Fwd: New Concept in Textbooks]

[Melanie Thornton]

Thanks, Dann, Ken, and others.

Dann, your PP presentation is quite timely...both for this discussion 
and in the world of Kindles.  Thank you for sharing it!

Someone at a meeting I was in yesterday said that they feel like they 
are in an episode of "I Love Lucy" trying to catch the pies before they 
go off the end of the conveyor belt.  Our work feels that way sometimes, 
doesn't it?  Trying to get good information out there before things go 
viral on us...
