That's an interesting position for a young guy and one I wouldn't have expected. The whole computer thing is more your generation while my generation of retirement age are traditionally the newspaper crowd.

I enjoy a paper as well but also enjoy the convenience of instant news gratification and have contemplated going online if I could get it at a reasonable rate. Also same with some of my favorite magazines where the content is rapidly changing or dated and it doesn't make much sense to keep them.

Currently in our locale, the paper is suffering & losing ads and subscribers-- as so many are --and is getting so thin that it is hardly worth picking up. Yet the prices are getting out of hand at the same time and to get an online subscription you still have to subscribe to the print and pay an extra bit for online. A lot of magazines are in the same position yet have the same restrictions.
