OT: Quantum Books closing...

[Jerry Feldman]

It is sad that they are going out of business. While I have not been a
steady customer, I do remember Quantum when they are located at the One
Kendall Sq. center further up where the CBC is. Blaming O'Reilly is
just an excuse, but the bottom line is as you all stated is the trend.
Printed books, especially in the technology field, go out of date very
quickly. It is the trend in the industry, and Quantum is caught up in
it. In 2 or 3 generations, printed books may be a thing of the past.
Libraries and societies will preserve the rare books, but people will
read via some electronic form.
