I spoke to Jill Stein. We demand a recount.

Republican judge sez no can do - you'll enjoy each and every one of those 4,172 (s)elected performances of La Mer, or else!

OH, you youngsters!  ;D  I'm a retired academic radiologist w/ plenty of CDs, but now reading most of my books and computer mags on my iPad Air 2 - have a lot of my music as MP3s on my old iPad Touch and newer iPad and also stream on Spotify and Pandora - however, I do miss those large LP jackets w/ readable text and also paper books and magazines - love the smell, flipping pages, and their look - 'something' is just lacking making this 'digital shift' in the last few decades less enjoyable for me.

Currently, I'm reading a new book on my iPad, i.e. Revenge of Analog (heard the author in a recent interview on NPR - forget which show?) - a real 'eyeopener' - the re-emergence of LPs is phenomenal, but the book goes into so many other 'non-digital' media w/ discussions on books (and book stores reappearing) and other 'brick & mortar' establishments - if you've gone digital in recent years/decades and feel that something is missing in your life, then this book is a recommendation - now I may start buying 'real' books again in the future, but will not return to LPs at this time in my life -  :laugh:  Dave



Oh, I actually love, too, the smell of new books, to turn the pages, etc. In fact, I'm eager to finish a physics textbook I'm doing just to have it printed and then smell it and see the title and my name on that piece of matter  :D

But, on the other side, I usually have to carry like three of these books each day... each textbook of 500 plus pages, really heavy  :-\ :( simply put: too much matter to carry by this humble pawn.  :laugh:

So, to have them digital is a blessing... also the paper notebooks thing... to simply erase with a click the many pages of handwritten calculations that were just wrong... :D

Perhaps one of the girls at your school could carry them for you

Should one at all care about the gender of a menial?  That is the question.

I was only kidding but.... girls don't whinge and moan they just do it.

CDs are like books to me,  I prefer having a physical item. Also with books, it hurts after a while to be staring at a screen trying to get absorbed into whatever the contents are.
Books seem more convenient to me for many reasons.
I like reading CD booklets too,  it's my kind of thing I guess  ;)

Same thing goes with studying scores for me too I think  :)

One word: browsing.

(I know that they call the Internet jigger a "browser," but that does not aptly describe its use, or usefulness.)
