Posted this on general chat this morning but perhaps it's better discussed here?

Just saw this on BBC - could be a vast amount of info for us in the future!!

I pray for this day! :) No more having to rely on libraries (although, I have been very impressed with the service various libraries have provided). Will speed up research no end - not having to wait for the post to deliver that vital clue. Oh if only the BMD project hadnt fallen through....

Less than one, I suspect.
