Yah, it's like we need those auditorium spaces as a reference point for
understanding what connects the xmca share of what pops up on this reading/
/writing space, the surface of the screen. I've just read Jay David
Bolter's *Writing Space. The Computer, Hypertext, and the History of
Writing* from 1991. Which was ALSO pretty darned interesting, both beacuse
of the way he treats "writing space" and because it, already, had this
*dated* feel. The Web wasn't around yet when Bolter was enthusing about
hypertext.
