Any printed encyclopedia is outdated even before it is printed. In that way, I like wikipedia better. It has much more articles than any encyclopedia, it's free and I can add to it (almost like linux, eh?). Then there's other wiki services like wikiquote, wikimedia and google to supplement it.
Peer review has found that it contains almost similar errors compard to britannica.
