My dad sent me this joke which was forwarded to him from a
mailing list. Funny for Wikipedia, particularly since I've
been thinking about how we could best go about producing a 1.0
print edition. :-)

Working as a computer instructor for an adult-education
program at a community college, I am keenly aware of the
gap in computer knowledge between my younger and older
students.
My observations were confirmed the day a new student
walked into our library area and glanced at the
encyclopedia volumes stacked on a bookshelf.
"What are all these books?" he asked.
Somewhat surprised, I replied that they were
encyclopedias.
"Really?" he said. "Someone printed out the whole thing?"
Received from Thomas S. Ellsworth of GCF.
