Corrections: In checking the URLs in the proofs for CyberReader, I have noticed that Joshua Quittner's "Read Any Good Webs Lately?" under "Cyber" and then "Hypertext" at the CMU English-Server has an "invalid line," in other words, is not "there." This occurs often at that website. Instead of deleting this URL from the book, I decided to leave it and use it as an example of a loss-and-found project. I will probably not be able to find it again for the simple reason that it might have been permanently removed, but we will see. For additional information, please turn to Appendix A, where I will give strategies for rediscovering what is lost! Remember, however, that the general rule is that things more likely than not get lost forever in CyberSpace!!

Additional sites based specifically on the readings:

Note that the article is in an ascii and a hypertext version; also note the link to the Bush Symposium, Oct 12-13, 1995, MIT, which I duplicate here.
