For the first time in about a year and a half, I shelled out some money for a "hard copy" of the Anchorage Daily News. My first thought was 'man, I got jipped- it's missing some sections' Not even close. Counting front/back as one page, there's a whopping 11 pages today. I remember when the comics section was that big.
In today's electronic age, your favorite books, magazines and papers are just a mouse click or two away. People turning to the world-wide-web for their info make "hard copy" sales plummet, I guess. They get skimpy and high-priced.
So who wants to clutter their home with something that immediately becomes useless and won't even get recycled? After today, I'm reminded- not me.
Save those quarters for the gumball machine, that way you get your moneys worth.
