    Great post!

    I have been wondering all my life when we will actually start to see the inevitable death of print magazines. So far, it seems like there's more and more of them each day though!

    Newspapers are even worse. Daily! Ha! I worked for a huge paper for a couple of months before I felt utterly worthless. At least it's used in animal shelters to soak up urine in cages, right?
