Is there a PDF (just got a Kindle DX...)? I'm not criticising, because you might want a print version and a HTML version, and I can always convert the HTML pages to a PDF. Other than that, I'll read the 1st chapter on this laptop and see wh

I used to use those Buy.com 'first time buyer' £5 coupons (in about 2000) to buy mice, etc, using a false name and altered address. They eventually cottoned on, by which time I had notched up about 5 coupons!

I had a Seagate drive. It was on the ground, and I accidentally kicked it - it fell over and promptly broke. I lost no data, fortunately, but since then I keep any Seagate Freeagent drives ALWAYS on the floor, flat, because tipping over is

Since I got a bread machine on a whim, I make a loaf about every week, and I freeze half so I don't have to throw away mouldy bread. I couldn't imagine buying supermarket loaves - even fresh bakery ones. And there's something nice about the
