By the 1980s, it was clear a new breakthrough in managing lexicographic data was needed. With help from IBM, the Second Edition OED was revolutionized. Torn apart, rekeyed, converted into code, it was eventually printed and published to much fanfare in 1989. Again the scale is vast -- 20 volumes, 615,100 entries, those definitions illustrated with some 2,436,600 quotations over 21,370 pages, using 59,000,000 words and no less than 63 kilograms of paper.
