There is so much stuff on-line you really don't need magazines. All you need to do is set up a wireless network in your house. Just be careful you don't drop your laptop in the toilet (Where else do you read the Reader's Digest?) I agree with you Janet. There is so much stuff on-line you really don’t need magazines.

We spend enough time at our computers! And I can't even imagine sitting at my computer to enjoy a novel! I even keep office supply catalogues on hand because it's easier for me to find the products I want in the printed book than it is on some of the suppliers' websites.

I still get very excited when the new Ikea catalogue arrives. I make a point of sitting down with a nice cup of tea and "reading" it from cover to cover. I also keep one or two current Sears catalogues. I don't pick them up, but they do still sometimes drop them off at my house. I am all for saving trees, but there are some things that will just never be the same in digital format. I like to read books (a lot of them) and I don't like sitting at the computer to do that. A book or newspaper is portable, and let's face it - it's nice to "unplug" to enjoy some down time. I have eliminated all magazine subscriptions and visit the library on a regular basis now. That way I still get to read what I enjoy, but the library gets to house all the "clutter". LOL Hey Janet,
