    I love today’s QOTD. Reminds me how old I am, even though I still wear high-top sneakers.

    I remember having a dot-matrix my first year in college. On the rare occasion that I had access to a laser printer, it was like Christmas to the hundredth power: The speed! The crisply printed prose! No tear-off track holes!

    Thanks again.

As long as the newspaper was a bundle, no one ever had to care that people were buying it for radically different reasons. But once you go online, and people can unbundle things, where you can traffic directly to a story without going through the home page or any of the rest of it, suddenly what it — the individual choices made by individual readers come to matter a lot.
