Hi! Since I retired from a career in teaching (science and computers) I have spent more time reading those books that I always wanted to read but did not.
All during the 1980s - and onwards from then - I read all the latest books on computers to the exclusion of others. Anyone remember <Killer Ultilities for DOS> ?
I'm delighted that I found BookTalk. My interest in good books and good reading is now a pleasant and relaxing past-time.
I look forward to expanding my horizons - and perhaps I will get a lot of help in this!

Re: Patrick Moloney from Dublin says <Hello>
DOS, what's DOS? Ha! Those were the days! I still have my old 8088, 20 meg hard drive, tucked away out in storage. I was going to see if it still work but a wee mouse chewed away the monitor cable. And of course, nothing compatible to it these days! Yeah... almost miss all that text and no pictures. Not. Haha!

Re: Patrick Moloney from Dublin says <Hello>
Thanks Ted for your interest.
At the moment I am reading James Joyce's <A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man>. I'm going rather slowly with this because on the way I am relating information in it to that in <Ulysses>.
For a change I frequently dip into <50 American Artists You Should Know>, Debra N. Mancoff.
Ah yes ! the 8088.
I would guess that there are many out there who would not know of the evolutionary emergence of the Pentium - should it have been titled the 508088 ?!!
And thanks to you Chris as well for the Welcome.

Hi Patrick and welcome to BookTalk. I've spent a bit of time in Ireland and enjoyed the Ring of Kerry and my visit to the Irish Horse Stud. I hope you enjoy interacting with other readers who share your reading tastes.

Re: Patrick Moloney from Dublin says <Hello>
Thank you Rita Lee - the Ring of Kerry is special even for those who live there. Re the horses - the jumping season is now over and the flat season is beginning.
