| Topic | Did you ever use Microsoft Encarta as a resource (before wikipedia) |
| ParanoidObsessive 10/23/20 4:25:22 AM #11: | No, I owned actual encyclopedias. I never actually owned a personal computer capable of running Encarta until after I was out of college - prior to that I was mostly either ghosting off public terminals or I owned computers that were 1-2 generations old (and thus weren't running modern software). In college I basically just used general Internet and the school's research library. By the time I COULD theoretically use Encarta (I bought my first full PC around 2000 or so, after I graduated and no longer had access to my school computer lab), I was already out of school and didn't need it for anything. Even when it comes to Wikipedia (which wasn't created until a year after I was already out of school), about the only "research" I ever really do with it is read historical articles for backstory ideas for RPG characters/stories. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
