Elsewhere, on the technology front

Can I kill two versions of media in 18 months?

October 2007, Atta J. Turk buys a HD-DVD player.

January 2008, HD-DVD is effectively killed.

August 2008, Atta J. Turk buys a PS3, primarily because it plays Blu-Ray.

January 2009, is Blu-Ray in danger?

I really love the feel of actual books, maybe I should buy a Kindle and save printed media?
