No more Philo on EB

The cryptic headline above refers to the annoying fact that it is no longer possible to access articles on the Encyclopedia Brittannica online. I had a reference to the Philo article of EB on my resource Page, a fairly good article, as most of the EB articles are, but now that link is dead.

They are smart, those dot.com people. I remember -some time back - the EB was completely free and accessible on the Internet, then they changed the acess so you could only read the first sections of the articles. And now it is completely closed. (yes, I know there is a free trial period, and a paid online access possibility..).

Well, to be honest, as a business project, they have to earn money. I know, I know... It is just that I had to shovel a heavy load of wet, norwegian snow this morning to get out of my house... That's a hard way to wake up; with a shovel in your hand.....

Wanna see how it is in Volda this stormy day; have a look here! My office is on the second floor, to the right of the entrance. If the lights are on, I'm in! Have a nice day!
