I got such a big kick out of this paragraph in the book, "Extraordinary Blogs and Ezines," by Lynne Rominger:
"Believe it or not there used to be a time when very few people had computers in their homes. All libraries had files called card catalogs. Long skinny drawers were stuffed full of cards. Each card held all the information about one book. You had to thumb through the cards to find what you needed. Homework was written out by hand or typed on a typewriter."
I can't believe I have lived long enough to become part of folklore. I love the "believe it or not" exclamatory remark.
