There is a website http://www.dpreview.com/ It's a great help with making decisions. Hmm! - the link works even though the address doesn't show up on my browser.

Oops! I missed. Sorry! Best wishes for the extended and related activities.

Wow! What a feather in your cap!

BEST WISHES FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

GO CEL! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

YO DD! HAVE A GREAT DAY! ALL THE BEST. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The Cadre and the Rogue - bad, bad guys!Thanks for your thoughts Sandrewn.

Thanks again Daithi. Yes, they are at that time of life when potential starts to be realised.Something in the near future? Well! Well! I wonder.

Thank you and yes, some 'nuts and bolts' writing was needed.

'da bomb' - I love it!something big? Lol - I can't answer that. You'll have to wait.

Yes,I think that there are limits, set by our current world paradigms, and changing as those paradigms develop. I also think that within those limits, a bit like Zeno's paradoxes, there is infinite variety and capability of expression.

Thanks Dd,I'm glad you found it interesting. Yes, they have had pivotal parts in great events.

ATTUNGA Part 27. Wirrin's representative job with Freedom kept him busy for longer than he'd planned, but not by too much, and other people did start doing a lot of the work, otherwise he wouldn't have coped. With almost 300 million people, a different way of doing things, conditions good but not up to the standards of Attunga and Warrakan, and quite a large technology gap, there was great eagerness from Freedom to benefit in every way they could, and Wirrin found himself involved in meetings

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREBS!!

Oops! Thanks Thorn.

My all time best is LOTR - which can be looked on as a series or not depending on your point of view. Others abound. The first series I recall from my teen years is Tarzan with the incredible chapter by chapter suspense which E R Boroughs was a master at. Soon after came the 'Cities In Flight' novels by James Blish. E E Doc Smith blew my mind with his Triplanetary and Lensman novels - space operas with vast and wonderful vistas for their time. Asimov's Robot and Foundation series. James H Schmitz with his Federation of the Hub novels. Anne McCaffrey with Dragons Of Pern, Pegasus in Flight and Tower and Hive. Robin McKinley's Chronicles of Damar. The extraordinary Dark Is Rising series by Susan Cooper. Urula K LeGuin's wondrous EarthSea stories. The Riftwar Cycle from Raymond Feist. The Song of Wirrun series by Australia's Patricia Wrightson. Guy Kavriel Kay and the Fionavar Tapestry. In a different vein - I love the John D McDonald books about Travis McGee - the tough guy who inspired Lee Child for his Jack Archer books. Peter O'Donnell wrote the Modesty Blaise novels which I still enjoy rereading in preference to many of the more modern adventure writers. The list goes on but I'll finish with George Martin's Game of Thrones and Robin Hobb's Tawny Man series.

Again- Thanks everyone!! Lol - yes - lots of candles - have to be careful about smoke inhalation.

Folks - I thank you one and all!

If you went back and accidentally changed something which affected the development of time travel you would still have a paradox.

'ambishowerous' !!! lol - I love it. - The word of the week.

You'll have the strength to say and do the right things - that goes without saying. The human spirit is strong and, after the fear and shock of the initial diagnosis, builds ways of coping.

My thoughts are with you Bob and I hope your hospital visit helps. Remember that without those clouds of despair the sunshine of hope would have less meaning.

Best wishes for a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thanks again for the reviews.Yes, the size is mind boggling. I don't think I portrayed that quite well enough. lol - careful, Sonic enjoys getting one up on people who call him a fish.

Best Wishes for your birthday Bill!!
