I was at a relatives house the other day, looking at an Encyclopedia set I thought about how I'm never going to own a set that that. Has Google completely replaced the need for reference books?
Maybe i would save up my money buying other stuff such as a nice home surround system? or some properties? rather than a domain name that basically does not have much value by itself?
But now it seems to be a collection to me. sort if hobby.
some of you guys might take it as a form of business, regardless of how we treat it, it certainly bring something special for us.
I just bought a complete set of encyclopedias from the library last month for $40. The guy basically gave them to me, he's always got a big smile and a hardy hello when I see him. I put them on my bookcase and said, "wow, I finally own a huge complete set of the platinum leather bound series". I haven't touched them since they went up, and I don't think I ever will, unless the electric goes out for a few years, then I'll be the source.
No Internet - would mean I would have to go get a life
Actually we had the "internet" back in the late 1970s - it was called BBS and much the same, just a lot less colors and graphics - not a bad thing with 1200 Baud modems
