Encyclopedia Britannica Stops the Presses

[DrDave]

I'm more worried about what might happen if the internet ceases to exist 50 or 100 years from now, when there's no one left who remembers how to roll the presses.

We should designate someone to keep a printout of the relevant wiki how.

Are we talking strictly about paper versions? That is, can you still get a version of the encyclopedia on a DVD?

Over here in Northern Europe, we had a big snowstorm on boxing day. Tens of thousands of households in Finland were without electricity for 2-3 days, some more remote locations for over a week. This leads me to remind everyone that without electricity, your Encyclopedia Britannica DVD is just a shiny disc with a hole in the middle.
