I have a similar pile of books, this is the first place I haven't erected shelving to hold them all and put them (back) into order - epubs are so much handier, I just wish it was easier to buy new books in that format. Nearly all of the old ones are freely downloadable, and I take the view that if I bought a new copy once (true of pretty much my entire collection) then I don't feel at all guilty about downloading an epub of it. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
