I consider people claimed the same at the start of the gutenberg area, that handwritten books were much nicer than printed books. What one considers beautiful is a personal thing, I really also like a harddisk full of books a lot, i know I """own""" (under at least 3 quatation marks) them, and can consult them everytime I want. Its just like people who are collecting say movies... Do they like the casings so much on their wall, or do they just love to just have access to a lot of movies...?

Oh, good one. Let's take that a step further. According to that bozo, movie buffs only like to view "films." So, if we really love movies, we should all have giant depositories of film cannisters in our homes, because watching a move on DVD ... well, that would just be wrong!! So, DVD players and the media they play should not be a success ... gotta have a projector, screen and lots of old film stock ... or you just aren't into movies.
His arguments are simply a crock. No wonder he turned comments off.
