...and then get upset because you don't have the time to look it up, scan it and e-mail it to them? I get that sometimes. Once someone asked me to zip up my whole web site and e-mail to him because he said it would take too long to go through every page and download - sorry, but my 28.8k modem chokes on 17Mb e-mails ;)  
 
I personally like doing research because I almost always find something new to learn (or unfortunately something I have long forgotten) that I wasn't looking for to begin with.

I don't think my kids would be able to do their school projects without the Internet - they've never cultivated the ability to use a library to any reasonable extent.
