聞說我住在紐約的父母,最近訂黎F《星島日報》美國東岸版。每天一早七時部A當天出版的最新報章就會被派送到家門口。我知道後,有點感慨。
感慨的是,想起有段日子,我住在美國中部俄亥俄州。那時尚未有互聯網這玩意兒,所以為了要知道一下家鄉的消息,我當時也訂黎F香港的報紙。
訂的是某報的美洲版,好像也是在美國東岸印行的。但由東岸把報章寄來中部,也得花幾天時間,所以我能看到的,是幾天前的報紙。
後來,該報美洲版突然宣告停刊,但我所付了的訂金又不能退回;該報社居然通知我,以後會把該報的原裝香港版郵寄給我,用的當然是最便宜的平郵啦!那就糟了!報紙由香港寄到我處,最快也要十天,我看到的,都是半個月前的「新」聞!再者,一星期七份,平均有兩三份是寄失了的!
今時今日,同樣身在美洲,卻可以看到即日的香港報紙,真是多麼奇妙的事!這是第一個感慨。
第二個感慨,是移民紐約十五年、從不訂中文報紙的父母,突然興起要訂鴃A為的,正是要每天看看在下這個小專欄;能不感慨嗎?
