Misery likes company
… which is why I also bought Dreamcatcher today. It’s always dangerous to go through the DVD section in sales season (I took a biiiig de-tour to the horror section though so it’s all my fault).
Yesterday we finally got ADSL connection. I forgot it at one point and wondered how the sites load so quickly 
It’s nice, we’ve had 56 kb dial-up (it might’ve been 28 at the beginning) since 1997, and it was annoying not being able to download programs properly (for example my Java environment is really old because the file sizes are whopping). GetRight which is able to pause and resume downloads only works on IE so I don’t use it…
Anyway, downloads are a rarity, but it’s wonderful to have pages load really snap.
I’m reading Dan Brown‘s “Angels and Demons” at the moment. It’s soooo good! Very addictive! When I get off the bus I feel like walking my nose in the book all the time. Before lectures I read until the teacher starts talking and as soon as they say “let’s take a break” I dig the book up from my backpack.
I've read Da Vinci Code and I have already bought Digital Fortress and Deception Point. I wish it was this easy to get all the Kings in my bookshelf. Then again, it’s better that there are loads of Kings even though it takes time to acquire them.
(The computer guy that came here to set up the ADSL was really cute 
Like a Gary Barlow in his early years.)
Wow, when I hear you talk about this stuff it takes me back a few years. We’ve been on high speed probably about 5 years now, but I remember dial up.
I remember trying to download something and it would time out. I also had Get Right in those days.
And since I’ve read the Da Vince Code, perhaps I should follow up with those other books of his too, since they sound so interesting.
Angels and Demons which I’m reading at the moment really is very very good. I like all the scientific stuff and puzzles and things. I was going to tell a bit what the book is about, but I think even the book’s introduction at Dan Brown’s website tells too much.
I’m looking forward to reading Digital Fortress as it has a computer, code-breaking theme.
