[Web4lib] RE: library automation vendors

[Thomas Edelblute]

I read through Grant's memoirs on my PDA during a European vacation a
couple of years ago.  A great way carrying around 2 volumes of
information in a small space.  But it does rapidly drain the battery.

What I really want is for someone to devise a way of downloading my
System Administration manuals into my PDA.

I had to jump in. I'm not interested in Harry Potter but I love reading
books on my PDA. It's not only convenient, it saves on eye-strain trying
to find decent lighting. I forget who, but someone once told me that pda
screens were the same width as newspaper columns. And the column-width
was devised to make reading easier.

And I am most definitely old enough for the margarita.
