Right on man...thats awesome u were able to write your thesis on video games and modern literature. And I have not looked into it, but what you're saying about music, movies and internet entering the libraries and the resistance they were meet with being similar to video games, is perfectly plausible. Canada and many parts of Europe have been for a while ahead of the States when it come to the government keeping up with current culture and the times, I was in a VA office a couple of months ago, and I guarantee it looked 95% similar to that same office in 1950, and operated in a similar manner as well, government policies die hard. But I am sure glad there are things like libraries, Police, Fire Dept ect. that our taxes pay for, even if the majority of the population takes those services for granted : )

Wow, ur very passionate about this, nice. I think it would be a good thing too, and yes, free is always good : )

This is more about checking out games, like a book or DVD, not using their computers for gaming instead of searching through an online card catalog on them.
