    Before the days of the Internet, a “'magazine” was a big bundle of paper full of articles you could get shipped to your door, sort of like if you printed out a website.

    Wow.

      Ok but who actually doesn’t know what a magazine is. They’re very much around, you walk by them at most grocery stores.

      Not knowing a home phone or cassette I might understand

        I’m pretty sure Ars has a minimum acceptable level of snark and sarcasm that needs to be met for publication, particularly with things like Google shutting down some service they’re bored with.

        Kbin devs, apparently.

      Has anybody printed Wikipedia? It would be fun to have a non-ant-sized “binder” that you could turn or run through to dust yourself off

        Check out EndlessOS, it has tools for taking many resources like Wikipedia offline.
