Sorry to leave a comment on an old post, Bud, but I’m getting ready to buy the Shorter OED and wanted to thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Fantastic and terrifying.

It’s exciting to watch how literature is beginning to utilize more diverse mediums– the videos, the internet, hyper-texting etc.  But probably what’s most exciting, and will end up being the main contribution to literature, is when e-books become the norm and all of these resources can be incorporated into the actual book, as opposed to the book being one thing and what goes on in the internet another.  It will all be rolled into the actual ‘text’.  Very exciting.
