The Digital Age

I got my first copy of digital PC Mag yesterday. I was hoping for a pdf. I got some sort of proprietary format requiring a proprietary reader...yuck! At least, the reader worked okay. I liked the way it scrolled up and down the columns rather than making you page up and down all the time, however, I can't curl up with a monitor on my lap.

John Dvorak was writing about "The End of History" the other day. He thinks that print newspapers, magazines and eventually books are doomed, and when they go so will long term archival.

He might be right. I sure hope he isn't.
