Thanks Carol!

That's good to hear you use both. I guess that's what I'm doing. If I'm stuck on something since I'm right there (at the computer), I'll do a quick Google. I haven't quite mastered any drug sites yet, so that isn't really helpful to me. I just break out my drug book.

I don't think I could ever give up my books either. My hubby and oldest (she's 15 and learning to drive!) maybe, but NOT MY BOOKS!!

Take care and have a great rest of the day.

Hi Nat,

Thanks for the welcome!

I certainly have a high regard for hardcopy. It's a much more tactile and intimate resource. And they haven't found a good way to annotate electronic margins. 8^D.

But I'm a "whatever works" kinda guy and short on time. I find myself leaning on both my Stedman's speller and Google more every day, and Word's dictionary is a pretty good one. As soon as Stedman's comes out with their electronic dictionary for Mac OSX, I'll get one.

I still trust print accuracy more and if there's a question of truth, I dig out the books.

In the end though, we all need to be happy in, and comfortable with, what we do. "Whatever works" for you.

Thanks for answering Peter..

I completely agree with your comment about "whatever works for you". That's exactly what I do.

I've incorporated a bit of both (books and internet). I'm marching to my own beat over here...lol

Although I did just get an electronic dictionary that I'm anxious to put to use. It sure weighs less than my hardcopy

Off to the pool for me!! The weather is GORGEOUS!!
