"I read they were degraded beyond usability."
You'd think maybe one'd been set off by now if they really had 'em...still, I think it makes sense to consider the possibilities and try to be ready.
I like the Heinlein quote, I've got to read some of that guy, been saying I will for awhile now. Maybe I'll pick one up when I hit the bookstore for Christmas shopping.
It's true, when I quit reading the Miami Herald, I felt alot more relaxed. 'Course now that I've discovered FR, I find all kinds of headlines again, more than the Herald ever had.
