[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 3710939, member: 1131"] Greetings! I guess I'm a Luddite. :D On one hand, I love books. I love magazines. I love collecting them, and has been mentioned--they are *physical* objects of information, inspiration, and imagination, as well as entertainment, that can go wherever I want to go--whether that is outside on the patio, in my truck, sitting on the couch in my livingroom, or relaxing at my desk in my office in front of the computer. The books and magazines go anywhere I want to take them. Plus, their content is mine forever, and never goes away, or is blocked, or cut-off from some network snafu, power outtage, or anything. On the other hand, however, there are some salient advantages to having a lot of this stuff online. Infinite expandability; instant errata and editing; instantaneous transference of documents or pages via e-mail to someone else in the gaming group; whatever. The technology is robust, and allows for a lot of very cool things that can't be done with a book or magazine. Oh, and another benefit: Storage space. I have stacks and stacks and boxes and boxes...of old Dragon and Dungeon Magazines. They're quite heavy to move, I can tell you! And, I also have to say, having a digital data-base that I can look up a complete magazine issue, and locate the article I want in *moments* is also a huge benefit. Now, when I want to find a certain article, I have to go through my collection of magazine, moving from my bookcases to the boxes, and back and forth, searching through every issue--needless to say, it can take all night to find one or two magazines that I am looking for. Being able to avoid that in the future will be a great feature, and time-saving as well. Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
