- As I (figuratively) kneel here at my keyboards, I see a
- blank wall before me. That blank wall represents the
- barrier that presently exists between reading and computer
- use as it exists TODAY and as it WILL EXIST in the near
- future. Just as the so-called Sound Barrier proved to be a
- figment of human imagination, so, too, is this mercantile
- wall a creation of the mind.

- However, just as Howard Carter needed his Lord
- Carnarvon to help finance his dream of finding the Tomb of
- King Tut, WE NEED HELP to become The First and The Best
- Fully Commercial Diskbook Publishers. WE NEED HELP to break
- down that wall. I believe that there are vast treasures on
- the other side of that wall. Monetary Treasures ? Of
- course ! More important, I believe that there are vast
- treasures of the mind and spirit that we may be offering to
- the reading and PC-Using public. Without the staggering
- start-up costs inherent in paper publishing, we may accept
- manuscripts from many more new writers who might otherwise
- never be published. Acceptance of manuscripts should be
- based on the merit of the manuscript and the talent of the
- writer rather than "Is this going to be a BlockBuster Hit ?"
