yep, that was just near the beginning, you can see me, ygg and godzil. the device is the first generation cybook (in colour !!).

note to self : included with the kindle is ravenne's translating services. excellent !
actually, i never did manage to find how to look up a word in the dictionary.
i used the joystick to select a line, then i pressed it and chose "lookup", then it showed the line i had selected and... that is as far as i got. i couldn't find how to choose the word or see the definition, alas. i will have to study hard during the next three months and hopefully godzil will bring the kindle next time and i can try it again.

Several people took some pictures and I expect that they will post them before long.

yep, we have a few photos coming soon. probably not tonight though. you will just have to be patient.
it was absolutely a lovely evening. although sadly the flu, the train strike, and the bad weather got the best of some of us, there were a few faithful apéro-ers who made it and we had a great time discussing all sorts of things (and trying to find the dictionary function on the kindle
). next time we are going to have a little word with the train gods to be sure there are no crazy mishaps !
