Medieval Times

Gather 'round and let me tell you a story of the old ways, where trees were felled, cut into pulp, mixed with water, and dried into sheets. Where words were then printed onto the sheets of paper, which were then bound together and transported through the land.

That was the old way, where night stands looked like this...

Of course, as the old ways faded into obsolescence, fewer resources were consumed, and now our night stands look like this...

Indeed, prior to the Kindle 2 it was Medieval Times.

I was fortunate to receive a kindle 2 from my wife for my birthday, a gift truly worth the 3 month delay from Amazon, and only rivaled by the xmas gift I received from my son ( a do it yourself pine-scent car air freshener - no lie!).
