Evening tithe... Looks like snow coming tonight, and feels like the South-easterly is coming the way from Antarctica.

Just back from the doctor. Shoulder is healing fine; 30% back in place, may get to 50%. Golfing in August? I'll just have to wait and see.
Rain cool 70F (barely) yesterday with a total from the weekend 1-3/4" of rain. Now I believe summer is about to begin.

Thanks for info Nik!

BTW, I looked in Wikipedia for Kindle and your KindleDX is considered mix ox 2nd and 3ed generation whilst pure 3rd generation should be newer than your KindleDX.

Is this correct?

Also is it correct that your KindleDX (i.e. mix of 2nd and 3rd generation) has better picture quality than pure newer 3rd generation Kindle?

Leo "Apollo11"

No. I played around with the Kindle 3 before finding a store that had the DX. The DX is 3rd generation and has the improved eInk Pearl screen with 50% better contrast. The difference was marked from the K3 i looked at. While the added crispness was a bonus, ultimately what sold the DX for me was the size. A 6inch reader display is fine for paperback books.......not so for one used to Textbooks and Hardcovers...+ the increased size allows me to use the QWERTY keyboard as a typist. I can write notes very fast using it and I also like the improved menu setup using a mini-joystick....makes navigating to certain words and paragraphs a snap for highlighting.

De-logification.

Haven't heard from the usual Limey rabble in a few days. I expect that Sprior is busy making himself indispensable at his new place of employment? Dixie still off work?

I just bought a new book titled Neptune's Inferno The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal by James D. Hornfischer. I will give a report later.

TAKE IT BACK

get a refund. It is awful.

Now now...it isn't for bland historians. Other's might like it's anecdotal nature.

I hope they like the gross errors too.

It's in the retail version. I'm sure you can buy it as add-on for the demo.

The free Demo is in fact unlimited barebones Retail version now - you just have 2 aircraft (one for each side)!

If you wish you can buy all other aircraft to accompany free Demo...

Do I infer correctly that you own the retail version then? And could provide a recommendation?

Nein. I just read the blurb on the website.

I've started a project where I'm actually going to try and play some of the games I've bought, rather than buy new ones. Crazy, I know...

Just to let you guys know, stay clear of SubCaptain, who is posting in the opponents wanted subforum. He's the same guy (email address) that I started my first WitP PBEM game with, and he disappeared after about 2 months, refusing to answer any of my emails. I later found out that he had also done the same thing to RogueUSMC who used to be a regular around here.

He's not trouble like Japan, so I don't want to post a "challenge" in his threads or anything, but he's a loser that I would not wish any of my Brothers to get burned by.
