I got a PC when I was about 55 and I own about 26 linear ft of bookshelves that have books just for reference material. To be able to find information, I could never remember, without leaving the house. The PC was fun and usefull if I had the address I needed but everytime I used a search engine it would keep trying to take me some place I didn't want to go. It seemed the whole purpose of the engine was to determine what I wanted to BUY. Google didn't show me *how* to use the internet, it gave me the ability to use the internet. Of course the bigger the net gets the more I need it. I might even start divesting some reference books...but not on Ebay.
