nothing wrong with google, voltare. it's a friend to us all.

glad to hear you'll be staying around. i know just what you mean about being a voracious reader. when i was a kid i would spend all summer vacation reading like a fiend, i could go through dozens of books (or more) in those three months. thank god for the public library... i wish i could still take 3 months off just for reading, now. unfortunately there's this pesky thing called work...
i agree with you that drm will eventually disappear. i hope it's sooner rather than later but until then personally i'm grateful to all the people who do the heavy lifting with the code.
