From the Detroit News; an article on Digital Encyclopedias. But if you're on the Internet access anyway, why pay anything? Try out Wikipedia, it's open source and a great reference tool.
I was reading the business section in this morning's newspaper (online) and came across this article on View-Masters (C'mon, everybody knows what they are). So anyway, I read where they are in the National Toy Hall of Fame, so I go surf over to that site and look at what they have. BTW, if you're ever in New York, it looks like a cool museum to visit). So I look at the members of the Hall of Fame and ... NO Hotwheels or Matchbox! What gives? I can see the Potato Head and Erector Set and Etch A Sketch, but the little cars deserve their space too. I'm sure that others have nominated them (I just did), so where are they? Also BTW, Run a search of View-Master on Google and you realize that everything that has ever been produced in this world has some kind of constituency. I'm almost afraid too look on E-Bay to see how many of the things are bought and sold!
