   I question the value of services like Blinkist. If you reduce a book to a five minute gist, what does the reader gain? Maybe a "huh, neat" at best. What is remembered? Are there any lasting takeaways? Padding popsci nonfiction wit

   Brings back memories. Make a cup of tea. Hop on IRC to find the latest FTP. Download 20 some RAR files. Merge them. Burn an ISO. I must have gotten 80+ games this way. Sorry, Sega. Thanks, Windows CE!
