Learning is a lifetime endeavor that not only stimulates the growth of new brain connections, but helps attain economic security for yourself and family. I've always felt that the Encyclopedia Britannica making its entire encyclopedia free worldwide would help those who, for one reason or another, missed out on their educations in early life!

That is why I was disappointed when the overwhelming demand for free access to their encyclopedias, with rich and robust search features and beautiful photographs, caused them to close for the next month or two during server upgrades (as explained in a letter at this link).

Thanks to our local news broadcasters divulging a "back door" in the Britannica system (due to a screen shot of the URL), you can view Britannica (while it lasts) in all its incredible search-speed and rich multimedia presentation at this address:

http://207.138.35.143/

Please don't ruin it for others who can benefit from accessing this knowledge by telling too many people or the volume of hits will kill it (tens of millions causing their main site to go down).

I thought you brothers and sisters who like to do research, will enjoy this excellent research tool in its rarified form (without competition from others who don't know about this "back door" URL). :-)
