Yes but have you read any of my three favo(U)rite books Laurel??
THey are:-
1.A Town Like Alice a.k.a. The Legacy by
Nevil Shute

I have just finished rereading this for about the tenth time (I have also watched the
magnificent 5 hour Australian made mini-series about seven times and never tire of the story, much like a good album it can be repeatedly experienced and enjoyed)
2, THe Magus by my namesake John fowles

There are many pics including a one of me at a computer at- http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/johnfowles/thingstolookat.htm"
and a third book this time not a novel although it sure reads like one
and one I described in an earlier topic about
Manaus
And Deborah
you said inexplicably
"This really is quite interesting John, since I have had to scroll to read the entire line of your post"
I had absolutely no such problem so perhaps you have your monitor's resolution set far lower than mine
To check this simply right click anywhere on your desktop select "Properties" then "Settings" I have mine set sat 1024 by 768
but resetting to 800 by 600 gave me the scrolling problem of which you speak.
That reminds me I must do some research on the problem of trying to display overlarge pictures here as the handsome Norwegian Valley pic I selected to display in my reply to Daniel's "WFY" topic was so large on the website where I found that to see it here would have entailed excessive scrolling so I saved it then used MGI Photosuite to reduce it then uploaded to Sidney's Gord Home Page group site
All this to help my fellow lightheads of course!!
