        They were hobbled by their previous need to make a compelling case to have real companies buy ad space in the print version. Now they are free to court all the penile modification engineers they can possible contact.

    You know you’re old when in this day & age you still prefer to read something on paper.

    This is bad news all around. It’s not just reporters & editors that will be out of work. Receptionists, office workers, janitors, delivery people, distribution workers, printers, etc… they’ll all suffer from this.
