    Don’t the phone books know that we can get all their information plus more if we look on the internet?
    here is a list I have come up with:
    Phone book: Internet:
    phone number phone number
    address address
    picture…maybe picture
    ??? map of location
    directions to location
    website
    surrounding area info
    competitors info

    Internet clearly wins.

    ???

    Internet:

    address
    picture

    directions to location
    website
    surrounding area info
    competitors info
    more…

    Internet clearly wins.

    I thought about approaching it from the “with the Internet, you don’t need a phone book” mindset. However, in my job as a retail computer sales sleaze, I encounter many a person who doesn’t have an Internet connection. I’m always amazed that they found their way to the store.

    Maybe they know you are short and needed a little boost when you sit in chairs so you can feel like a big boy?

    Damn, I knew I shouldn’t have thrown the extras out! Hopefully two phone books will be enough to overcome my Napoleon Complex.

    we get the same shit. i swear every time i turn around there is another phone book on my door step. i’m really surprised that the treehuggers of the world aren’t having a colossal fit over this.

    i actually tied to use one of the phone books once, but i couldn’t remember how. i just kept looking for the “i’m feeling lucky” button…
