"honestly, what is it about [computers] that bothers you so much?"
"the smell"
"computers don't smell."
"i know. smell is one of the most powerful triggers to memory there is. the scent of a flower or a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell musty and rich. the knowledge gained from a computer has no texture, no context. tis' there and then it's gone. if it's to last it should be tangible- it should be Smelly"
--Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I've always loved books. Books rent space in your mind, set up a stage, and usher you to sit in the front row as they spin tales of countries near and far, and peoples doing all sorts of wonderful things. The only limits to what can be accomplished are what can be imagined.
