Two? I'm aware that she has a brand spanking new red Sony 600 which I am quite certain she has named PORTUGAL! (though I haven't confirmed that yet). But two?? I cannot possibly imagine that she has two. Are you sure? Wait, let me go check her profile device details and I'll get back to you.

Two???

heeheehee !!! i've just gotten home, about 10 of us or so stayed to have dinner, and after dinner patricia and i went for our traditional drink. it was a lovely evening, it was wonderful to see some familiar faces, and also to meet some new ones ! ygg has done an excellent job as usual of reporting the events and listing the people who were there, a few i didn't see on his list were :
- grégoire
- romuald
- vincentb
- hadrien
- a very nice woman from a new ebook publisher who will surely be back around the forum, although maybe lurking

and i'm sure some more whose names are escaping me right now (i'm feeling a bit sleepy !)

i even gave a demo to two clients in the café who happened to be there and were intrigued to see all these gadgets.

i tried out ygg's tiny tiny keyboard (he saves the day again !) as you can see in post #7, sadly, i typed in laboriously my first post, and then somehow clicked not on "post quick reply" but something else and had to start over

i'm not a pro of the smartphone i have to say !

in the gadget list i have to signal also the fabled BOOKEEN GEN2 !!! that's right ! you didn't think it existed, but we've seen it ! i even took a few photos, unfortunately you'll have to wait for those since i really must be going to bed now, sorry ! it was a sort of intermediary between the gen1 and the gen3, closer to a tablet than a liseuse, with an lcd screen and using windowsCE (i think...), with a very ingenious easel clip which could allow you to prop it up near vertical for displays or demonstrations, or at a slight angle for comfortable reading on a table. there was also an italian (?) device which is probably the last of its kind in existence, about 10 years old, quite impressive ! little trivia detail, the screen was custom made only for that device. the only device which could read drm lit files ! (unfortunately, we didn't have any with us...).

it was a great night and i'm very glad everyone was able to come ! i can't wait to see you all again next time, in december.

nighty night !

i just noticed that my last post was number 21121 !! seems a shame to ruin that by posting more, but, you know i can't help myself.

Pfft! Sleep. I'll sleep when I'm dead

Or is it I'll die if I ever have to listen to that Bon Jovi song ever again in my life?

I'd demand pics also, but I suspect Zelda has gone to bed!

Yes, she doesn't have an excuse about sleeping anymore!

It sounded like you had great fun, maybe I should come to one too, when I can...
