Always check eBay for that stuff. It is amazing what people have listed. I have a DVD hanging in my "buy later" file on Amazon for Colossus: The Forbin Project. A pretty good film of a really great book, and alas, more likely to be true in our or our children's lifetimes. I guess I ought to go ahead and order it.

Next month my library card must be renewed - they used Overdrive for a long time, but have switched to the more streamlined Libby app (built by Overdrive). I'm getting a lot of my audio through Libby and headphones when I workout at the gym. I may have to pay this time around, my village doesn't participate in the larger library program of the city that surrounds us. This little enclave puts the definition to "frugal." Those of us who live here have ways of getting around the restrictions, usually to do with water bills from friends who actually live in Fort Worth. That is the case with the Library participation. Every time the card is renewed I expect the city might have put up some digital barrier.
