Indeed... his other books are in my queue of books to read... ..unfortunately, I don't think I'll have time to read any books until next century at this rate!! Too much todo and not enough hours in the week!!! Maybe I need a quieter job!!

...I'm running out of shelf space too with all these books.

Do I get a bonus point for being an ex-Amiga user and have read Neal Stephenson book???

Yes, ITBWTCL is a good book.... lots of strange comparisons between Disney World and the Serengetti!!!

Now read cryptonomicon and the big U, then get back to us on crotabotaslavia!

Also Zodiac, snow crash and diamond age are worth a read.

Thanks
