Hello Roy & hello Apple - welcome to MR. Don't think we have a parrot here yet, but I might be mistaken.
Have you already checked out the
writer's corner? Might be just the thing for you.
Also check out the
eBook library from MR. Sooooo many free books, lovingly formatted by MR members. That'll keep you reading for a while.
And don't forget to look into the
Lounge if you want some fun.
