Yeah, I was one of his friends that would read and comment while he was writing it. I know him from the same online community where I met Nolan. It was awesome when his first novel, Singularity Sky was published, I picked up a copy and after I finished it sent him a note that I enjoyed it. He responded that he had just finished the draft of the sequel, and was I interested in reading it. Talk about instant gratification and not having to wait a couple years between releases. > > PS: *NEVER* go shopping on an empty stomach.

I can empathize, recently gave in on that battle. I updated my mac pro to mojave and that broke it on LR 6, so I tried LRC, and that wouldn’t work on Mojave, so I had to hack it to install Catalina. Monday evening I got home and it booted up into the OS installation screen. My system drive had gotten overwritten. Fortunately my home directory was on another drive. I bought a replacement for the boot drive, the first step is going to try to do a time machine restoration onto the new drive. Then I’ll need to figure out what to do for a new box for photo processing. I expect that there should be some wicked fast desktop machines based on new processors coming out soon. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
