Subject: Black Magic

I recently spent a part of two weeks evaluating Black Magic for our
department. I know that its developers spent a lot of time and effort
trying to make it perform as many hyptertext functions as possible and
their enthusiasm and good will is everywhere evident. However, I was
forced to conclude that the package provided too little too soon. I
am very reluctant to use HUMANIST as a forum for fault-finding,
especially since I felt that the originators were clever and eager to
provide something useful and good.
Still, if anyone is contemplating the purchase of the package, I'd
be willing to send him/her a copy of my findings.

Subject: Canadian Customs


The Canadian Consulate here in Dallas gave me the number of the
Canadian Customs for Ontario [(416) 973-8350]. They said that there
was a form to fill out (Form # E29B, I think) when temporarily
importing goods like computer equipment for the Software Fair. There
is the possibility that Canadian Customs will require a deposit of
perhaps 10% of the market value of the equipment. This deposit would
be returned when leaving the country with the equipment. Items can go
in for free, but it is totally at the discretion of the customs agent
when you enter Canada. Thus, anyone bringing computer equipment into
Canada should be prepared to pay a 10% deposit. I am also planning on
bringing proof of purchase.

Isn't "self-study" a little solipsistic?

Guide at Glasgow

Guide is used by a number of Humanists at Glasgow for teaching.
One colleague, Des O'Brien, has produced a hypertext version
of Piers Ploughman and may demonstrate this at the Toronto
s/w fair on the machine being used for DISH demonstrations.
