The music/video store of the future will have listening/viewing "sample"
stations and buttons to burn your CD on the spot. The bookstore of the
future will have sample copies of many titles, "sample" stations where
you can read through just about any book on the market, and a PoD (Print
on Demand) system in the back room that will print your books for you
while you suck down drinks and eat pastry.

Only a matter of time, chilluns.
