Elixabef Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 OMG, Encarta. Memories! I've had regular internet access since I was in elementary school, so I can't imagine having to write high school and college papers with NO internet help. I mean, often, teachers required our sources to be non-internet based, but lord knows wikipedia was always where I started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
