Paul, * off thread , but hey, it's Sunday. I would like to share one vision I have for future technology. (You asked) We will all have a book-sized device with a display screen and sufficient memory to hold one or two books plus magazines, newspapers. We'll download these publications for much less than the cost of print and will then be able to read them anywhere.* To protect copyright, it will have to be made impossible to copy again (so you can't give copies to your whole bridge club). And, there has to be a one-click way to pay (like Cybercash's Cybercoin). Paying only two bucks or so for a new 'paperback' this way, I'll buy more of them, because if I don't like it - no great loss. And distribution cost will be much lower. The technology exists. Peoples' habits have to change. GM Part of this concept comes from a sci-fi novel by I.Asimov
