Small press publications have a high failure rate without any "help" from new technology. They have the problems of small businessesAND of arts organizations. Technology giveth and technology taketh away. The small press as it is now is a product of new, cheaper printing processes. When the next breakthrough in cheap printing comes, there will be more printed small press pubs.

These are interesting points. The small press these days is no less creative and adventurous than it was before the personal computer and desktop publishing, and it hasn't made it any more viable anyway—(but maybe less expensive?)

The small press is different these days than in the 60s and 70s. I feel the focus has shifted from the artistic to the business sensibility, in a sense.
