No opinion from me either way;  I can think of arguments both for and
against, but none especially compelling to me in either direction.  My
offline usage generally is at a laptop and not a PDA, so I have a full LG at
my command at such times;  others will be on their palmtop, hopefully
enjoying the palmdoc edition, where a full past-issues index might nicely
point out which past issue to fetch next, but the search engine isn't all 
that handy.
