Same here, and I spent hours poring over the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
I did too.
Which is why we are all wankers now on Free Republic ain’t it?
my brain still remembers all these facts of history etc that post folks never knew and most people have no such aptitude and find folks who do that like us...to be irritating
poring over encylopedias and Classics Illustrated too...really gave me a heads up as a boy...no question
