Sorry Piff, but damn, what you describe sure does sound familiar...
/me does a little digging online.... Okay, here's more info on the 1st book. See if this rings a bell: http://www.xmission.com/~jeffress/reports/b/B199911.html
Peff, Was it Dave Wolverton's Golden Queen books? The Golden Queen Beyond the Gate Lords of the Seventh Swarm First one came out about '94.
"Green Penguins that say "meep meep"? Australia is an odd place... " There's just something wrong about that image.
Does Autralia have frogs? I though they had penguins.
For grins, Bloom Country is great. I just had to chuck my ancient Bill and Opus stuffed figures as they were looking mighty sad. Billy and the Boingers anyone? DeathTongue? As for comics, SandMan, Ultimate Spider-Man, and J. Michael Strazinksi's Rising Stars.
Yep Musashi is definitely the book then. I remember it was huge. It looked intriguing and intimidating.
Crae is that a Japanese historical novel about a Samurai? It sounds vaguely familiar. I think I remember seeing an English translation in the book store a few years back. As for Jordan, I got tired of reading about every side-character's minion's lackey's best friend's evil man servant's struggle with the some distant toady's underlings' warrior's inn keeper's wive's best-friend's prostitute's evil henchman. <i
I like flowers and puppies and rainbows.
Usually fantasy and sci-fi.Stuff that I enjoy and think is a cut about the rest (off the top of my head): JRR Tolkien. Have a collection of hundreds of Tolkien/Tolkien related books. George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series Tad Williams' Memory, Thorn, and Sorrow series Ursula K. LeGuin's great. Phillip K. Dick Heinlein's juvenille books (he lost me with everying including and after Stranger in a Strange Land) Guy Gavriel Kay Roger Zelazny Jack Vanc
I remember 8inch floppies
My very first home computer was also the Timex Sinclair (eventually followed by all the various Commodore computers (vic-20 all the way up to the Amiga). I remember the Sinclair's bizzard micro keyboard. The first computer I used professionally was a Digital PDP8. It used punched paper tape (which inevitably unravelled all over the floor and tore, resulting in liberal but strategiic applications of scotch tape). Its front had a series of big yellow switches called RAP (Random Access Pa
Hmm. Still now working for me. Maybe it's something with my ISP at my end, I've been having connectivity problems the past few days with various net sites.
As Keanu would say "Whoa", massive concurrent responses. Man, we need to start coordinating these things
Go to https://www.stardock.com/support Key in the email address you used when purchasing the skinbrowser. You should then get an automatic email from stardock (takes about 5 minutes for me), it should contain a link you can click to download the latest version as well as your regististration key. Hope this helps <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Power
Hey all, when I go the store web page, select say a T-shirt and hit the buy button, the page the attempts an SSL connection to the stardock store site. Unfortunately, it appears to be timing out. BTW, are the coffee mugs gonna make a comeback?
Boxxi, they reissued those books as two trade size paperbacks within the past few years. I vaguely remember it had something to do with floating worlds/islands/landmasses and your action hero/protagonist having adventures among them. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered
whazza woman? izzit like a man with a womb? Seriously, I pretty much discuss the same things: computers movies and TV music games history useless pop culture trivia politics The only problem is that I'm not a good real-time conversationalist. Debates are great but I usually can't respond quick enough and therefore am on the losing end of conversations simply on this measure alone. Not that the other person is right, just that they have an answer quic
Yep. That's Farmer. He also wrote a series of novels called The World of Tiers.
Okay Jafo, but ONLY the original 3 Foundation books, right? Not the later additions to the series. Just wanna make sure
migellito - PKD is THE MAN. I'd love to see his Valis trilogy made into movies. They probably confuse the heck out of everyone. I still haven't seen Minority Report yet.
Hmm. Weird. I'm not seeing it. I feel left out of the elite Skinned-IE-Scrollbar Club :/
Thx T-Man. I liked the Stardock t-shirts better. Kinda weird walking around with a shirt that says SKINNERS in big bold letters. I'll have to explain to every one that no, its not a Pr0n thing and no its not part of the X-Files Agent Skinner fan club But what the heck, I need new a new shirt anyways, so I'll buy one. You could have one that reads "Skinners Live in Vain" as a nod to Cordwai
AngelEyez, don't feel bad about that. You don't have to be a skinner to partipate here. I'm not.
