Goodbye(but Hello), Brittanica

A moment of silence, please(at least among those of us who grew up with the venerable tomes:)
After 244 years in print, Encyclopedia Brittanica will cease to publish its multiple-volume, hard-copy version.
Not to despair, though, for the good people at EB will continue to publish their excellent and always up-to-date online version of the great encyclopedia, which can be reached here:
http://www.britannica.com/
