Most of these I couldn't give a rat's ass about. But Palm started out well, and I am disappointd that it couldn't remain a strong challenger to Microsoft in the hand-held arena. I still use my Palm IIIx constantly.
And Borders wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed so many of the folks that I worked with there that it's a bit saddening to think that it's going down too. B&N is okay, but I always thought Borders had a better selection, at least in NoVa.
Reader's Digest is something of surprise to me, as I assumed all Americans over the age of 70 were required by law to subscribe to it. Oh well...
