While you are all screaming that the sky is falling, you may want to take
the time to actually go to the old clearinghouses. They are working fine and
are still available for downloading info. Bold proclamations about the death
of the mind and soul aside, why not take the time to download some stuff
today? You can use WebReaper to download each clearinghouse as a complete
offline website. To install a free copy of web reaper, go to:
