I've one more week before I'm (relatively) free and can begin coming back online. I've been playing around with a Macbook (all over the house) recently, and I find it hard to get used to this feeling of ... freedom. Of treating the Macbook as a source of relaxation. (Which it isn't, not really. Still word docs and spreadsheets and web surfing) It's different from my other laptops because it's light, and not so hot. I think I'll be sorry to see it go.

And vice versa?' It's one of those things that's struck me every now and again: it's much more fun to read political blogs online because your hackles are raised, you're indignant about something. It works pretty well on a computer. But with fiction, you're relaxed and you want to enjoy yourself. You want to sit back with a cup of tea and lose yourself in a book. It just doesn't work as well on a computer. Richard I completely agree with you on the question ‘Have you ever read anything in print that you wished you had been able to read online?
