[Moonraker]

I'm 64 and wondering if I'm the oldest member here. I've been into IT since computers first came into the workplace in the mid 80s. I'm retired now but still get many calls from friends and relatives for help. I don't often shop at PCWorld places but when I do I often have to suppress a chuckle when listening to BS from some salesmen. Do they see only a female with white hair and assume I know nothing?

I have been an voracious reader since I was about seven. If there was nothing available to read then the cornflake packet on the breakfast table would do. My mother would scream at me to get my attention if I happened to be engrossed in a book and deaf to the world. My parents were not the sort to monitor my reading material so I still have nightmares about the Holocaust to this day.

My first ebook reader was a Franklin eBookman 901, followed by a Fujitsu 1000, Fujitsu 3400, eBookwise, iLiad and Cybook Gen3. I have loved them all in their turn.
