Baker and Lesk

Well, the last 100 pages didn't really clear anything up. Baker makes a very interesting point (one I happen to like -- for the most part), but his argument is lacking. The book should get like-minded people angry and perhaps convince them to do something, but I don't think the book will get any converts.

As for Lesk, a much drier read. Much of it felt like the text for LIS 2600. Lots of detail about the history of digitization, etc. Did I really need to see a chart showing the changes in price of storage media?
