I maintain contact with another IJA member who does not have an internet connection but does exactly what Martin suggests and uses libraries. I was in Davidson for the most recent Hugo Festival and walked into the public library and was on the internet in 5 minutes. I am not a computer geek. All it takes is a desire to take advantage of this powerful resource. The point to be made is that the internet is available to far more of the membership than some people seem to think.
Most members have access in some form or other if they choose to take advantage of it.
We should not penalize those who do take advantage of the internet just because a lot of the members choose not to. Thank you Martin, for bringing this up on this forum.
