I asked Peter in our weekly write session how the world would be different
today had the Library of Alexandria not been burned. Because of
our write conventions and his lowercasosity, his answer looked a lot
like a free-verse poem:
not too different;
the world was not ready for all that truth
by which i mean, all that enlightenment
the barbarians left little when they were finished
sacking rome;
europe was a dark place;
byzantium wasn't too much better, especially once the
muslims took over;
we got just about the right doses of antiquity into europe as it is;
but about the database you suggested;;
