I used to keep a novel in my jacket pocket, a couple or a few in my backpack, and my main contribution to my home's decor tends to be stacks of books next to where I sit. Now, though, I have a handheld PC (a HP Jornada 720, to be precise) with a quarter-gig CompactFlash nonvolatile storage, on which I keep a large collection of things to read - fiction (I just copied the stories from www.wulfarchives.com today), non-fiction (eg, the Nuclear Weapons FAQ), a significant subset of the collection from www.sacred-texts.com , and more (eg, the local bus company's website with its maps and schedules). (Plus it has a calculator, a city streetmap, a chess program, a wireless network card, and a 56k dial-up modem for when WiFi isn't available.) And all for about $130. And it's almost as good as walking a dog to attract interested comments from nearby strangers... ah, technology. So, would such a machine count for the Mitigator limitation on this Bookworm disadvantage? :) Thank you for your time, -- DataPacRat VA3BOS "You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself.
