Where did Luggers get the idea that the academic community is against digital. I've been using digital storage since before the days of the floppy disc (IBM cards, 8" discs, 5 1/4" discs 3.5" discs, 2" discs, hard discs, CDs, DVDs, SS cards, etc.). Most professional academic journals require papers (an anachronism) to be submitted via the internet. Art shows require paintings to be juried on CDs. The internet itself was invented, via ARPA, so that academic institutions could communicate electronically on government related projects. Indeed, I was there at the invention of the pre-internet (but not Al Gore) and if me and my colleagues has patented some of our ideas, I would be writing this from my yacht anchored off Monte Carlo. Who knew? My main objection to digital is that you can't read a CD in the bathroom. Larry Z
