Yes, but it was much more fun to make the expedition to the library myself. Not only was it kind of fun to track down the answer myself, but in the process accidentally run across other great stuff. Not so different from the internet in how it worked on your brain. Good lord, I loved that place. The smell of old books. I discovered Sherlock Holmes there, among many other things, totally just by browsing. I remember reading my first Sherlock Holmes story standing up right there where I found the book, too captivated to bother finding a chair.

I hesitate to be an enabler, but as long as you use it responsibly, there is a new browser with some cool tab sorting features you might want to check out.

Nice, I still use Firefox as my primary browser. :D

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg
