Argyle58 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I still prefer paper and ink, both in my personal reading and professional research. I am often made fun of by others in my profession for the fact that I would rather have a dozen books open on my desk than to take advantage of the many online legal research engines. Besides, what would I do with all of my bookmarks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a dying breed, you may qualify for protection as an endangered species. I'm sure there's a government program, or a dying breed union that could help.....at least until January, 2013. Argyle.....this is what comes to mind with the word "Imperial"......... I'd like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas + Happy New Year, Valin!
