Well, I do agree that one's a lot more active when it comes to using computers compared to slouching in the couch in front of the TV. But to me, I also really like being outdoors, doing active stuff. I guess it's a delicate balance... :-) Dejan,

Thank you!

However, I really do think that TV is something that should almost completely removed from everyday life. If I look at myslef closely, time with computer is much more creative and active than hours and hours of staring into TV. Even better, if you look at organization of your home, usually whole living room is organized around TV as some kind of modern "altar". Horrible indeed. Nice to have you back in our civilization :)

Öland is one of my favourite places in Sweden, particularly the sandy beaches in the North-East and the landscape of the South (Alvaret). It will be nice to read your posts again :-) Welcome back!

If you've enjoyed the first five parts of <i>The Dark Tower</i>, I think you'll like the final two parts as well. The ending of part VII is just ... wow! :) I, too, like Dan Brown's books. I haven't read <i>Angels and Demons</i>, to thanks for that tip. :) Welcome back!

I was wondering where you had gone to already. :-) I've read Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" on vacation and wasn't overly impressed with it. I was fascinated by the Holy Grail theory and other history, but the story itself was quite weak -- especially after the theory was explained. I also read Joseph Finder's "Paranoia". It's brilliant! I am a fan of Grisham's work and Finder's work is similar, but focuses on the corporate world, instead of mostly lawyers in Grisham's books. Welcome back!
