TyVulpine 08/04/22 9:39:12 PM #5:	Having grown up before the internet became mainstream, I can say life is better with internet. before, you had to go to the library to do research and hope to hell the material you needed was there and not checked out (you had to use card catalogs to find the location and then go there. No computer system to tell you if the book was available or not), and hope they had a current set of encyclopedias. --- Dream Address DA-6517-3174-1702 <cite>TyVulpine posted [p:967080556] in Do you thi...
