The Evil Microsoft Vista
Thanks for the calls and emails of concern from readers.
The evil Vista upgrade has caused me to be without a computer for the last couple of days.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that I finished my second book about how a conspiratorial group of international influentials were trying to make themselves rich at others' expense.
The first was Steve Berry's “The Alexandra Link” in which the rich biggies try to find the re-located contents of the Egyptian library.
The second was Allan Folsom's “The Machiavelli Covenant.” It tells of a conspiracy to to spread deadly toxins over Arab countries by a group of business folks and politicians—including virtually of the presidents top appointees—by satanic worshipers.
1190 pages schooling me on the nature of politics for only $11, plus tax, at Sam's Club.
Pure escapism, right?
No one would think there's any conspiracies going on in McHenry County or Illinois, would they?
And, I even got finished those, I read Eric Flint's latest alternative history anthology called “Ring of Fire II.”
It is based on the premise of a one mile in diameter part of West Virginia being transported into northern Germany in 1632. Paperbacks are out called “1632,” “1633,” “1634: The Baltic War,” 1634 : The Galileo Affair.” I'm hooked on the interaction of today's technology with society back then.
I guess I could have borrowed a computer, but then I wouldn't be within spitting distance of finishing my income tax.
