Good Point Goody, I did not foresee the historical significance in my
though, but your point is a very valid one. Leave the post digital era

ie. SO +Digital.  As my mind is working this idea I like it cuz then it
would give those who are breaking ground into the digital arena there own
new competitive playing field.
