A friend of mine has a set of encyclopedias so old that under the entry about the moon, it says something like, "Someday, man hopes to walk on the moon."<BR/><BR/>I'd like to see that kid's report, too.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339936940500165901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-33800600385169481792008-12-04T11:43:00.000-07:002008-12-04T11:43:00.000-07:00Umm...one might say "old information" particulary ...Umm...one might say "old information" particulary as it relates to nations or geo-politicial subjects is called history. This is not to say that outdated unused books should not be removed as part of your "weeding" process.
