Ralf, I think that you are a bit wrong with this statement.
The increased popularity of computing, the adoption of multi-byte
encoding and the computational and storage power available today
increase the usage of computers in humanistic studies: now a
linguistics scholar can afford a system to do linguistic research say,
on Ottoman turkish (arabic writing - btw ancient Greek students already
had TeX (if they knew they had it ;) ).
It is not "increasingly widely" as for "larger user base" but for
"larger number of uses".
