Yeah, absolutely people should purchase physical devices, not code.

This has worried me for a while now, not just with the rise of the cancel culture devils. Have you tried to buy physical music lately? It is becoming near impossible to find a store selling physical discs, everyone thinks streaming, whatever that is, is the way to go.

I have 4-5 hundred old vinyl albums, a couple thousand +/- CDs and maybe 200 music DVDs, old and older stuff because RocknRoll. Mostly rock, but Blues and stuff, old juke box music, stuff. But it is near impossible to buy that new any more, except online.

New vehicles don't even have players in them, HOW does one play one's CDs...?

I get laughed at because I read books, too, physical books not ebooks. I've never read an ebook; I asked to borrow one from my Son's friend and he said he couldn't lend it, he didn't really have a copy, it was online. Hmmm. I can loan him my Federalist Papers or Atlas Shrugged, bought a long time ago, but he cannot loan his books.

Back up anything you do have online, we will likely experience interweb failures, maybe long term, soonish. I have first aid books and engineering books and cook books and mechanical books and electrical books and woodworking books and How To books and all manner of books. I do not need the interwebs to read them.
