Greetings from R. Wood in Virginia
I’m a little late in saying, “Hello.” Trust me, that’s nothing new for me. (Insert joke here about being late for own funeral.)

Over the years I have done many things from radio and television to programming and systems development. I spent a number of years running major projects for Government consulting firms. I have run my own company for the last few years and am currently involved in a high tech start-up.

I started in eBooks as we know them now back in the early 1990s with Adobe Acrobat Version 1. Initially it started with publishing a lot of Government reports and User Manuals and progressed as time went on.

A few years back I started reading stuff on my Palm equipped cell phone and developed a rather extensive library of material. Many PDBs were self created. (Would you believe an ISO-9000 manual on your phone?) When I first heard of e-ink and later the Sony Reader I knew that the days of the small coarse dot matrix screen were doomed.

Picked up a Reader about a week ago and joined here shortly thereafter.

I'm having a lot of fum here (but more with the reader itself.) I am up in the Piedmont of Northern Virginia and remember fondly my time in the Tidewater area. In a long term test I wonder how well the Reader will survive in the near salt water environment. Will the chrome pieces become pitted? Time will tell.

Well, I'm not going to formally welcome this RWood fellow until I'm sure he's not just some 'fly-by-night', 'here today, gone tomorrow' type.

Give it another 5 years, say.

It never pays to be too precipitous!

Fair enough. I guess by 2014 I'll have earned some trust!

Nah, this one looks a bit shifty to me. Sure, he looks all professor-y, but until I see a working prototype of a coconut-shortwave-radio, I'm reserving judgement.

Cheers,
Marc
