Shocking news today, but not very surprising in some ways I suppose, with the online story that Encyclopedia Britannica will be ending their print edition:

They will continue with an online version of sorts according to the article.
These encyclopedia's have been an honored and trusted tradition for many years. They will be missed by many. Although I guess this is just another thing that is falling to the wayside due to progress and the internet, etc. Sometimes it's just hard to say if that is indeed progress...ya know??
I can remember using these books back in school for many subjects and stuff and even taking time to just look through them and browse around the various articles/stories/subjects because they were so interesting. Gonna miss them.
