The joy of helping others

[Garth Wilson]

I think we have all benefited tremendously from technical forums. I miss the paper magazines and catalogs of decades ago; but reader interaction was slow, requiring waiting for the next issue to see readers' responses. I exchanged paper mail with other subscribers too, but again it was very slow, and including pictures usually required finishing a roll of film and getting it developed, then making the extra prints to send. It was fun back then, and it's fun now; but we definitely have luxuries today that we didn't have back then.
