I'd beg the indulgence of the Admins for just a moment to mark the passing of Michael S Hart. Mr Hart invented the e-book, invented the online library, pioneered keyword searchable text and founded Project Gutenberg. His contribution to Ars Magica was substantial, because without his innovations, many of my books would have the same research depth as Sanctuary of Ice. I have written a longer post about how his work impacted my life on my work blog, which is at http://gcbooks.wordpress.com/2011/09/08/vale-michael-s-hart/.
