What better way to bear the heat than to do some, er... intellectual activities freshened by a fan. Now, where's my soda?

I just wish the English translations hadn't crapped out at what...145 or so?

You and me both.

@FGFuzaxx

The source of the PDF is www.readersplanet.de.
I'm just reading issue 2343. The font is a little bit to small. I think I have to reconvert (crop) the PDF a little bit. But anyway I love it, I can read it in bright sunlight with no problem.

I just recognise that you also a member of the perry-rhodan forum, or someone has the same nickname there?

Look at my nick, do you think two people could possibly get such a nickname? Yes same nick in that forum and in perrypedia also. Whats your nick over there?

@Riocaz, rmeister0

I think they have had a restart a while ago, but anyway nothing near the 2344 issues the gernam one has (this week).

Greetings, Frank

It's not currently being translated at all.

It was, and got to about about 140/150 issues in then the publishing company had a shake-up and the new men at the top killed it because it was considered too childish.

Well thats the american version anyway. The UK had it's own. But I think that died even earlier.

The Dutch fans pulled a "Star trek" on the series in 1970:
The publisher decided to continue the series after the fans started protesting.
Still going strong to this day.

Wow, the iliad looks good. How does writing on it work? Do you feel the screen would scratch from using the stylus?

ElaHuguet · 07-25-2006, 01:41 AM

It writes really well, the line is a little too thick, but I think they're fixing it in future software versions, but the actual "glide" is great, not slippery or sticky, several persons at my work tried it yesterday and liked it.

No scratching: It's plastic on glass.

Luckily I have an old Wacom ArtPad II that has a compatible sylus. The great thing is that it is the same size as a regular pen, and has interchangable nibs. I have put a felt nib in and it feels great on the Iliad.
