If prepared without large images, these files would be under 100K, and would take less than a minute to download on even a relatively slow connection. Compare that to the process of emailing your snail mail address to an unknown person, and waiting for a CD to be shipped halfway around the world. You'd still find people willing and interested in the CD, but much less than would just have downloaded the PDF file. And we're talking about people who might be skeptical about SignWriting to begin with. -- -Angus B. Grieve-Smith Linguistics Department University of New Mexico |
