She Treads Softly: space

space

Remember the feeling of space and freedom you had when you got rid of a old huge bulky monitor and switched to a sleek, new LCD monitor?

I have that same feeling of freedom.

I've dumped the huge bulky box computer and now just have the Acer hooked up to the monitor and a wireless keyboard and mouse for everyday usage.

And it's all more powerful and has more memory than the big box computer. Plus I can unplug the Acer, and take it with me. I have 6 hours of battery life.

I can't believe all the room and space I have on my desk! Heck, my desk is looking too big now!

My next step is to get my hands on a magic stick, as I like to call it. Wonder Boy insists it is a Bluetooth USB dongle. The magic stick will allow me wireless access to the printer. Ain't technology grand!

John Updike's six rules for reviewing:

1. Try to understand what the author wished to do, and do not blame him for not achieving what he did not attempt.

2. Give him enough direct quotation--at least one extended passage--of the book's prose so the review's reader can form his own impression, can get his own taste.

3. Confirm your description of the book with quotation from the book, if only phrase-long, rather than proceeding by fuzzy precis.

4. Go easy on plot summary, and do not give away the ending.

5. If the book is judged deficient, cite a successful example along the same lines, from the author's oeuvre or elsewhere. Try to understand the failure. Sure it's his and not yours?

To these concrete five might be added a vaguer sixth, having to do with maintaining a chemical purity in the reaction between product and appraiser.....Review the book, not the reputation.... Better to praise and share than blame and ban. The communion between reviewer and his public is based upon the presumption of certain possible joys in reading, and all our discriminations should curve toward that end.
