Computer books store

I have numerous books from the computer library, i used to stop in once a
month to her shop, she had an amazing diverse collection of great books for
such a small store, I was sorry to see it go away.

Am i going to feel guilty about going into *.megabookstore and bend a few
covers looking for a book that isn't a ldp rewrite or substandard info
written by a twit that hasn't written a line of production code, or admin'd
a production server,  and then NOT spend an extra 40%+ ?????  Sorry you have
been mistaken for someone who cares..............

I prefer my $$$ to stay where it can do the most good, namely in my bank
account.

Gee, I was wondering why Computer Library and so many
other local businesses have gone out of business.

When a friend personally recommends a book to me, I'll
buy it online, sight unseen.

When I'm not certain, and I need to "fondle" the book,
I gladly give (correction: used to give) Katherine the
few extra dollars.  I consider this simply to be the
COST of book fondling.

Anxiously awaiting the "buggy whip" rebuttal.
