Good to have your company, Thiery. I'm in France, too (Menton), and find a Sony the best bet here. Hope you're as happy with yours as I've always been with mine. If you'd like a few books to kick off with, pop into my site (
www.bewrite.net) and drop me an email (neilmarrATbewrite.net) of any books that catch your eye. I'd be happy to send them over to you as an MR pal free of any charge. All in English and only (so far) in PDF, I'm afraid. Good luck. Neil
