    @ZZDaikun

    It's a shame, but I'm glad at least they're continuing the online version. Unlike Wikipedia, it doesn't contain all sorts of erroneous or unconfirmed info that anyone is able to add. So it's a great resource for reports and other research. My parents got the set back in 1988 or 1989. They still have that book that shows the human anatomy, which is really detailed & nicely done using layers of transparencies for each system (muscular, nervous, organs, skeletal, etc).

    The kid is Donovan Freberg. The omniscient narrator is Stan Freberg.

    Really? That's the Stan Freberg. The same one who was involved in those Warner Bros cartoons with Mel Blanc? Donovan must be his grandson.

    What's 'S'? "Special credit" or something?

    I did a book report on a video game ('Out of This World', Super NES) when I was in middle school (around the time this commercial was airing in 1992) and scored an A++.

    That computer in the background probably didn't have space in the hard drive to hold all the information in these books

    hey man, I am fine. It's all good, change is the nature of the universe and the only way to prosper in life is to embrace it's ever evolving nature. I appreciate your concern, though
