Happy Fourth of July—to everyone, everywhere, especially Project Gutenberg volunteers
Beyond the usual reasons, this is a special day for Project Gutenberg, whose founder, Michael Hart, posted the Declaration of Independence to the Internet on or about July 4. At any rate, that’s when he created his Net account at the University of Illinois.
As for the Fourth of July, happy holiday whether or not you’re a U.S. citizen! At least 40 percent of TeleRead visitors, we’re pleased to say, are from outside the States.
