You're probably too young to remember this, but many
years ago when there was a newspaper strike, the
comics were read aloud on the radio. Remember, George?
Was it in the forties? Or was it only on the East
Coast, where I lived at the time.
It would be nice if there were a web site where
newspaper comics and comic books and graphic novels
could be read. I'll bet lots of people would tune in.
Does anyone have money to invest? smile I wonder if
this is something bookshare could expand into.
Jim F--do you know anybody like Bill Gates or google
people and s this some way benetech could expand
bookshare's reach?
