depends on the user (though it doesn't always depend on what they
THINK is "better"), not to mnetion the use (see previous parenthetical
remark), but I find perennial proclamations of the detah--or, @ any
rate, the retirement--of the book, or vinyl, or film, or ...
ludicrous, esp. in deference to the digital (which, contary to popular
opinion, is now and always will be dependent on mat'l media, does not
provide "perfect" copies, is not immortal, and all other such gnostic
fantasies) ...
