To all - I didn't mean to imply that it is a bad thing. To the contrary. I love the fact that I can find out, almost instantly, anything I want to know about...anything. I will say, I do miss the smell of my old set of Collier's from back yonder, though.
Patricia - I read both, electronic and paper. I still have my library card...and I still use it. We had Collier's and they were good, but a compromise...we couldn't afford Britanica.
intell - !!!!Eyegore...She's alive!!!! Just last week I thought about emailing you...just to see, mind you. Merely a coincidence? I think not.
Wikipedia pretty much kicked the crap out of Encarta back in computer ancient times. Do they even make it anymore?
OK, murdering your blog is not acceptable in polite bloggering society. We need all the voices we can muster these days. Anyway, I hope that's not your final word. Pretty please.
intell...yikes, you weren't kidding, I went looking and your blog isn't there. NO NO NO NO NO! This is just wrong! I have almost 12 years invested in following your blog. I even remember the first post I read...the one about the fish dispensing machine. Not one other blogger...NOT ONE...has ever written about that machine, that I know of. Have mercy

I don't know how we survived without the internet before.
We had less availability of knowledge; but also less availability of mind junk

I remember my daddy getting my kids the encyclopedia britannica and every year getting an update book for the year...I think thom still has it.
I guess they don't even sell Encarta anymore, do they? Seems that used to be included with every PC sold in the '90s.
(Yes, I am still alive! I badly injured my blog, though, and haven't had the patience or motivation to resuscitate it.)
