Ted Nelson’s Junk Mail (and the Archive Corps Pilot)

Mine experience might not suit other's, but I kind of find an echo with skimming through product flyers and catalogs, aka junk mails in this case. This might partly be due to I am in academy, where quick development of new equipments often could help cut cost and speedup studies. This is why I still signup junk emails from those companies, ask for paper copies of catalog, and take some time read those product promotion pages of academic journals.
