I have no problem at all with that, as long as the HTML and TXT also are posted. As to whoever it was who said that I am American- centered, yes, I am. The only language I speak besides English is Spanish. I'm learning to read French so that I can read LE FIGARO better, but will probably never pronounce it properly. Would like to learn German but I probably won't live that long. The fact remains that the MAJORITY of PGLAF's books are in English. So I'm talking about what is necessary IN ENGLISH. I did not mention PDAs at all. I mentioned laptops. The PDA I have refuses to speak to my computer or allow my computer to speak to it, so I'm rather limited in that direction. Anne
