Hi Bob, I've enjoyed your perspective and comments about DITA. I'd like 
to understand about Minimalism in the 1990s. I'm not clear whether it 
refers to a consumer-initiated movement toward intuitive products where 
the documentation didn't matter to them, or perhaps something that came 
about with the innovation lust and the quest for new competitve 
advantages in the speculative dotcoms business era.

If you would share something of your perspective on it, I'll try and get 
oriented.

Thanks,
