Throw the book at ‘em

By now, you’ve probably heard that Encyclopaedia Britannica will no longer be published in book form.  It will, however, continue to be available online.  If it’s been a while since you’ve seen this encyclopedia on a bookshelf, have a look at one of the commercials featuring Donavan.  You remember Donavan, don’t you?  No?  Well, you might remember his dad, Stan Freberg.  Stan’s voice is in the commercial, too.  Excellent!

About Chuck
I started out as a child, then things kind of grew from there.  I spend way too much time around computers and radios, but I do like to take a break once in a while.  I'm not a real doctor, but I played one on the radio in college. A bit later on, I wrote an article that was published in COMPUTE!'s Gazette (Commodore 64/128 magazine). I also think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
