[78-L] Bye Bye, Borders

[Thatcher Graham]

Supposing I'm not hit by a truck and estimating based on the general 
family longevity... I've got at least another 50 years or so. I dont' 
feel particularly threatened by the radical Islamic... I'm more likely 
to be struck my lightning... or crushed under a toppled stack of 78s.

... the current ebook readers can hold thousands of books and cost just 
a couple hundred dollars. My entire library would fit on a Kindle. My 
interns don't even own CDs. The idea is foreign and perhaps 
uncomfortable to me but physical media could become a novelty within the 
next generation.
