Books? What Are Books?
45 minutes after opening, we have 19 patrons in the building. 14 of them are using or waiting to use computers. A pretty typical morning.

Degolar's favorite quotes
""In any case, fire burns; that's its nature, and you can't expect to change that. You can use it to cook your meat or to burn down your neighbor's house. And is the fire you use for cooking any different from the one you use for burning? And does that mean you should eat your supper raw?"
Maddy shook her head, still puzzled. "So what you're saying is . . . I shouldn't play with fire," she said at last.
"Of course you should," said One-Eye gently. "But don't be surprised if the fire plays back.""— Joanne Harris

However, by not letting my teenager on the computer as much in his young life... he's now behind in his keyboarding class.
And mind you, this is the BASIC keyboarding class. He was woefully unprepared for the freshman entry-level "intergrated computer applications" class. The first day he went to *that* class, teacher had them type, with the keyboard covered. Didn't take sonny long to realize he wasn't ready for all that.
At least the computer patrons are getting more experience than my child!
Change the keyboard layout to Dvorak. :)
*evil*
