    So as not to derail Klaus' thread about "pay to publish...."

    The other day, as I was trying to get back to sleep after waking at 3 AM, I ended up thinking about my early days in training. This was before I married, and I was totally immersed in my chosen profession.

    I remember going to the medical school library, on a Saturday morning, and going to the stacks were the copies of "Anesthesiology" and "Anesthesia and Analgesia" were kept. I'd pick up about 3-4 years from each journal, a total of about 6 "books" and retire to a desk and then pore through them, trying to absorb the knowledge of the golden days of my profession - the late 1960s and early 1970s. I would spend the entire morning going through them.

    Good times.

    Sorry, I've had a bit too much (cheap) Scotch this evening, and I'm waxing nostalgic.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Yes

      I could go in at 7:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday and get all the computer time I wanted, something I couldn't do during the week, I was all alone.

      Tonight was Crown Royal Black, nice, not really cheap
