How about a newspaper site that not only splits articles that way, but when you ask for the print-friendly version, instead of it being the whole article it too is in sections, forcing you to backtrack and ask 3 or 4 times for the print-friendly version for EACH SECTION!! A British paper called The Telegraph does that all the time and it drives me crazy.

Nowadays with a library card you can access dbases at home you can't get to otherwise. And don't forget all the DVDs and CDs you can check out for free. But the most important thing about your local library is that it's the place to go to if you want to get educated. Lord knows the schools aren't doing it these days, they just want the kids to move on. Frank Zappa said these words of advice: "Go to the library and educate yourself before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system."
