Thanks! I'm about two thirds of the way through, and enjoying the heck out of it. Speaking of no spoilers, Friday evening I went with some friends to see the fifth Harry Potter movie, and then we drove to our local Wal-Mart to pick up the seventh book. It was about 1 AM, and there was no waiting, a free poster, free cookies and cupcakes, bookmarks, trivia cards, etc., and several pallets loaded up with the new book. On the way back home, we drove past a Borders and saw several dozen people camped out, waiting for the store to open at 7 AM. We thought about stopping to tell them they didn't have to wait, but then decided not to spoil their fun. But I bet at least a few of them felt silly when they found out (if they found out). -- Mauro Diotallevi "Hey, Harry, you haven't done anything useful for a while -- you be the god of jello now." -- Patricia Wrede, 8/16/2006 on rasfc -- Not a Harry Potter reference, by the way. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
