Thanks to the 20 people who responded, over the past two weeks, to the questions I sent on 22 June 2003 to the readers of larch-l and the ASLA Computing Professional Interest Group.

In the hope of broadening the input and discussion of this item, since we all interact with IT every day, I will be posting each and every contribution, in chronological order as I have received them. The first three are now posted. They have been and will be posted, content unedited, and with my contextual annotations, on the ASLAcomputingBlog, Digital Issues section. This format allows anyone to comment immediately and directly to the posts.

Here is the link to find those 'IT and LA' posts.

To comment on any post seen on the blog, just click on the 'comments' link at the bottom of that post and you will get a new window to type in your comment, question, etc. Professional decorum is standard, humor is optional.

Thank you,

Edward Flaherty
