I've got a copy and still use it sometimes -- being able to immediately see nearby words (like "glad", "gladly", "gladness") is quite useful, which you'd miss just searching for "glad". Being able to see all uses on a hardcopy in a fixed position that doesn't scroll is helpful too, I find it harder to rationalise big lists when they're scrollable.

(I also use it to explain type checking to friends, given the number of times I've looked up a Hebrew word in the Greek dictionary, or vice versa).
