You're the modern equivalent of a monk in a monestary.

Closer than you might think :-) I have over 6000 books at my house too (most technical). I love information.

BTW, thank for the compliment. :-)))) I loved that analogy. :-)

As do I; about a third technical, the rest art, history, philosophy and literature.
But we both know that what happens to those after we depart is another matter altogether. Thank God for the Library of Congress. If that goes, the future are in deep doo doo.

(Sounds like the ideal subject for a good movie, no?)

How many names for the 'creator' have you logged so far? ;-)

Super, now we'll know who to track down to help rebuild civilization after Lucifer's Hammer hits!

Hot Fudge Sundae falls on Tuesdae this week...

Wow. Impressive!

What would it take to solve the problem so that future generations could read our stuff. The historians trying to study us 1000 years from now will no doubt be clueless as to what to do with material stored on our computers (if our computers are working then, which is not likely). And of course, our CD's will be long dead.

You have over 6000 books? D---! I only have 3000.
But I also buy and sell antiquarian books. I like reading books that are a few hundred years old.

My 5 1/4 floppies are stored in the closet, unreadable; but my hand-written notes and manually typed papers are still easy to access.
