But in a nice way. Every so often I run across an old English book I'd like to see, and every so often I'm reminded of the Early English Books On-line (EEBO) database. Occasionally these two things happen at the same time, and I find myself hunting up all sorts of stuff. Which is how I ended up downloading 4 different copies of Cotgrave's Wits Interpreter, a copy of The Academy of Armory, Florios' Second Frutes, and a little pamphlet titled: A Short and Plaine Dialogue Concerning the unlawfulnes of playing at Cards or Tables, or any other game consisting in chance (among other things).

I need a bigger harddrive.
