I went to Border’s tonight because my g/f wanted to pick up some books. So in the meanwhile I thought, hmm, let’s check out the computer selection.
I walk around and what do I see but 3-4 shelves of books dedicated to Ebay shopping and selling. Do we *really* need 3-4 shelves worth of those books? Is anyone actually buying all of them?
Right next to those shelves were 2-3 shelves of Google books. Now I don’t know about you, but I find the Google search engine to be one of the easier things to use. I would sooner pull out my manual for my microwave than read a book on how to use Google.
In the end I found a nice book on clearance sale about PHP and MySQL. I don’t really have time to read it and I have hundreds of other books I haven’t read yet but I figured, what the hey, at some point I may all of a sudden in the middle of the night need to do PHP or MySQL programming for the website or for this blog so I went ahead and bought it. It just wouldn’t be right walking into a book store and not buying something.
