Welcome to the official ( i.e., A.C. Clark ) new century.... I hope you are all well and I want to simply thank you for all the insightful and animated commentary. We have reached a point with the telesymposium where Part 1 is coming to completion with this insertion. Part 2 of the telesymposium can now begin and we hope it will lead to a remarkable tome concerning all things
digital.

It is my hope also that in the second iteration, we will start referring explicitly to works (our own or those of others) to exemplify and illustrate our thoughts. In this way, we can literally construct the book 'on the fly.' Also, I am hoping that some of the participants who were unable to participate thus far will now have the chance to enter the dialogue, as we dearly missed their voices in the first part.

All the best,
your moderator and comrade-in-arms,
