I stopped using accents and cedillas in my french writings in 1986 when
I was stuck in a foreign land with IBM 3278 terminals on an EBCDIC
system.  Haven't missed 'em since.  My greek graduate student buddy
wrote greek in ASCII using a completely made-up transliteration system
known only to greek expatriates on the internet.  The Newton vs.
Graffiti debate has shown for the Nth time that people are more adaptive
than computers.  

7 bits is enough for anything worth saying.   Anything else consists of
error-correcting bits. =)
