And people don't delete stuff to make room from their hard drives any more?
I think that was implying that in the future memory will be so cheap and plentiful that that won't be necessary. The diving boards I don't understand.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Really? I delete stuff all the time. The 320GB and 250GB drives in my computer are always running low on free space. The 1.5 TB drive is doing fine and the 1TB external drive is only half full though.

Pools removed them due to liability/insurance issues.
Huh. I think the municipal pools around here still have them. I will have to check.

Because books.
Pools here have them, too. And the one where we used to live in PA had just added a huge twisty slide before we moved.

I do, too. There were a few on that list that made me boggle.
I mean, the Victrola still plays as good as ever, so there's no need to replace it!

Thanks msbelle and Jesse.
The town I grew up in didn't have any stores by the time I was old enough to go to them. The grocery store was open until 9 pm and 6 pm on Sundays.

A few years back a WFMU DJ was telling the story about how a listener (who I think was about 19) called her and asked what a 12" single was.
A 12" single is someone who should call me.
I miss diving boards.

I think it was in Mass., when I grew up.
Malls were definitely open on Sundays (even in Mass.), not package stores though.

Why are liquor stores called package stores in Mass? The first time I heard "package store" I thought we were going to UPS!
