I still subscribe to two dailies: the New York Times and the Detroit News, but like the Free Press, the Detroit News is going to five days a week, without lowering their subscription price. When it happens, I'll cancel. Paul
========== I still go to used book stores even though Amazon is easier. I like the feel of book stores. I deliberately buy there to help support them, and I like buying books I can touch and look through and see if I am interested. You can't always tell just buying online; I've bought a lot of books on Amazon that once I opened them I wish I hadn't. And I still take a paper even though I read it mainly online. I do it to support their continued existence. Besides I find a use for the paper, makes good packing material. And who knows? Maybe I would/could lose my Internet connection either completely or sometimes. With cyber stuff it's always good to have a backup on other media and or a paper backup, a paper copy, a paper trail. As a former computer consultant, I know this very, very well. I fear for us all if we ever end up in the position that we don't have backups or paper copies (for photos, books, newspapers, whatever), we could lose too much knowledge. Accumulated knowledge.
