The problem with dead trees is they can drive you out of your house and bankrupt you very quickly. One seven shelf bookcase, 7 feet tall by 2 feet wide from Office Depot costs about $285.00. It holds about 140 books. There are now four in my living room at a total cost of a little less than $1,200 and there’s no more wall spac for any more. They can hold a total of 560 DTBs (Dead Tree Books). OTOH a single $150.00 Kindle holds 1,100 electronic books and can access and additional infinite number in the Amazon cloud. If it’s an iPad or similar advanced device it can do an infinity of additional tasks.
Not the least is keeping up with FR late at night or first thing in the AM!
New one to the tech minded. My Brother is a quad and in July a subcutaneous abscess suddenly manifested that required him to be in bed rest for all but a couple hours of the day. Unfortunately, it wasn't till the end of August that I discovered that the iPad had several apps for 'virtual machine' control of the desktop computers. Not to wish misfortune upon any of you, but this technology is so very great for those of us who cannot handle things normally. This is the great promise of technology, how it enables those who otherwise cannot!
