Marty,

(you hide your brain under a bushell.) I offer my applause. I really enjoyed this. It sounds very original to me. Well done.

Yes I can just picture you trying to read in bed :D .

You've put it nicely - goes well with your comments in the "Remember when" thread. You're right . . . nostalgia aint what it used to be ;)

Cheers, Marty

That's well done Marty. It's a bit lost on old codgers like me, because I don't follow all the technical details. Enough to get the idea I think ;) :)

Much as I appreciate the portability and lightness of e books nothing IMO replaces reading a well thumbed, (or not) much loved book printed on paper. Taking an e-book to bed at night to read must be a major pain. Books are one of life's greatest pleasures and if one has a book to read and a shady tree to sit beneath one can never be bored or lonely. I can't bear to part with them once they are in my possession unless they are Mills and Boon....can't stand them :roll:

Enjoyed the sentiments in this quirky little poem

Cheers

Oh but I did like that! A real plug in! That will make a great little performanc piece, I reckon.

I once wrote a poem in binary.

Kinda boring though. You had to be there to see it done otherwise it was just another piece of doggeral.
