piece" (review?) on the NET bible (also form Dallas) as if it were some sort
of new idea. Where have these guys been? The NET bible is just the next
phase of a process which has been underway for over 12  years. Nothing to
get excited about here. The CD Bible in the late 80's was newsworthy, it was
a break through of sorts. The NET Bible should be greeted with a big yawn.

Actually, the NET Bible is a completely different project from the CDWord 
project which became Logos Bible software. The Sponsors are different. The 
only commonality is that some of those who worked on CDWord originally worked 
on the NET Bible. By the way, both projects are more "context dependent" than 
you give them credit for.
