I have never happened upon your blog before but came to it today by a friend whom I frequently debate this very topic. We are both twenty yr veterans of the print/prepress industry and speaking for myself have had reservations with the one-to-one transfers of print text to digital for teaching purposes. After reading your post, you breathed a bit of relief in my somewhat skeptical mind. Don't get me wrong either, I am now a print and web designer fully into the digital age but do not want the gov't to mess with education more than they already do. Thanks again, Pam Hello Brian,
