The Times has a great article on the history of Encarta, that encyclopedia
that came for free when you purchased a Gateway computer in the mid-90s and
was a staple of universities. The Underdogs used to host other similar
multimedia CDs from this bygone age, and it's interesting to see how the
media has changed from then to now. We don't have news clips on sites like
Wikipedia or flash animations, just creative commons text, images, and the
freedom to edit them.
