Oh, I'm a confirmed computer user from way back, but there's still no website that can compare in usefullness to the presence of a reference book like this one. No logging in, no user names or passwords. You simply take the book off the shelf and within seconds you have the information you need. Until we get reliable voice actuation like in Star Trek, reference books will still have a place. To be specific, The American Heritage High School Dictionary is a fine entry that's filled with thousands of contemporary entries that are necessary in The Information Age. Buttressed with many charts and illustrations, the publisher has given high school students a great tool and a reason to remember that computers don't always have the answers we need.
