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.Kraken wrote:...When I was a kid I found out that there was such a thing as a Reference Librarian. One could telephone this person and ask her any factual question, and she would track down the answer and ring you back. ..

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.
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
