The days are much longer during summer - but I was thinking about the temperature.(It was kind of silly what I had suggested - for nobody's going to read out in the desert or in the icy cold weather of the Artic. I was thinking about Cameras when I wrote that. )I was thinking that many...
Thank you PTCruiserII for your input. New gadgets, inventions are invented not for one simple reason - there are the commercial aspect, the "want" aspect, the "need" aspect and probably a hundred and one other reasons. I fully agree with that point you mention "When it...

Thank you Svanels for sharing your views.
I'll share my personal view about ebooks. I like reading stuff that benefits and contributes to my understanding of the business, physical and technological world - and that means a lot of non-fiction. I spent much $$$ on reading materials that soon...
