I also really enjoyed this book- when I was about 10. It's still a great read, although I agree that some of the characterisations were a little lacking BUT did improve in the sequel- if other aspects didn't. I didn't know there was a part III; I eagerly await the chance to read it. Thanks for the review, please keep reviewing the old with the new. Cheers Julian
64Mb- I should get so lucky:-) ... been running Gnome (with enlightenment) on a 32MB Toshiba libretto up until very recently. Ran fine, admittedly a litle slow some times, but very few problems. Wanted to become a little more productive so have switched to AfterStep (amazingly fast!) However it doesn't seem to like Gnome much. Something to do with session management, I think. Guess you can't have everything all in one day! Am missing the eye candy, and the configurability, but am loving the speed increase. Look forward to seeing the new kernal/gnome/kde releases (and hope the ratio of bug squashing to new features stays high!)
