Which makes it, in fact,
not the same thing.
When we moved, the guys at P.O.D.S. told us not to worry about overloading our container; it's almost impossible. They didn't reckon with our books. We almost sprained their forklift. I stopped counting boxes at 70 cubic feet. I don't want to rent books -- and yes, I know many industries are moving towards a "rent not buy" model, including software -- "really, it's a benefit to keep paying us for what you already have, because you get all the newest bugs automatically!" -- but I still want to
own things, not just borrow someone else's things. And I'm fairly sure that I'm not the only one who feels this way.
