The first one is so conflicting for me. The snakey, vindictive part of me loves that it will cut into Windows sales. The environmentalist part of me adores the potential savings in power and junk. However, the cautious librarian says: “Britain, be careful. You already have more surveillance cameras on you per capita than any other Western nation. Do you really want all your information stored on central servers owned by others?”

That part of me also thinks that Google’s got most of this covered or started.

As for the second, I didn’t really understand too much (conjunctions are fun AND good for you) but I think a more integrated OPAC/library website cannot be a bad thing, especially if it’s LAMP and features the more visually tactile experience of a simulated card catalogue.
