I'll have to put that one on my TBR. Hmmm ... does it count as an historical novel?

[quote=""Margaret""]Thanks for coming back, Sharon. Perhaps you need to name your computer something a lot nicer! And maybe offer it little treats when you first turn it on in the morning. I wonder what sort of treats a computer would like. Maybe you could sacrifice alarm clocks to it.[/quote]
(My bolding, BTW)
I howled with laughter when I saw this! My good friend got me set up with my current laptop, and told me either NOT to name it this time, or to pick a name of someone I like, and trust to always be there for me. (The laptop is now known as "Hey You!" and is more-or-less reliable. )
This has been such a great thread to read - technical dysfunctions notwithstanding. I really enjoy SKP's work, and deeply appreciate the author's notes, maps et al.

Even the mighty oak was once just a nut that held its ground.

Glad to hear your new computer is behaving itself! Be sure to feed it an alarm clock every now and then.
