<VV> The future of publishing?

[Bruce Schug]

I love my Communiques, and my Quarterlies, and my Windmills, and my  
CORSA News, and my Turbo-Aire Topics, and my CORSA News -  
Preliminaries, and my Preliminary Newsletters. Yes, I have the whole  
set of CORSA publications, except for the first one after Preliminary  
#4, the unnamed, Volume 1 Number 1, September 1970, "This Monthly  
Bulletin is not yet permanently named.", which I would pay dearly for.

But what is the future of publishing? Everyone thinks CORSA should  
reduce expenses, but there's really not much left to cut. Contrary to  
some opinions, the Directors don't get expenses anymore, etc., etc.  
Certainly the publication of the Communique is a major expense.

Converting the Communique to an all-electronic format, e-mailed to  
members would save a lot of money, but none of the money required to  
create the Communique. Nevertheless, in a hundred years, "publication"  
won't be at all like it is today, I think we all would agree with  
that. How soon this conversion happens, I don't know.
