    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      I did have torrent on an old laptop, but never got around to reinstalling it on the new one. I barely use it.

      I could never get it to work. Crap Sony Brevia or Dell XPS. Or something. INKSTIE. (Technical Incompentence).

        I don't believe you don't have any torrent tools installed somewhere.
        Many forums ban any sort of advocacy for illegal actions so NAT may, as moderator, be playing it clean.

          Where I live, torrenting is legal - so long as you don't upload.

              I have. Clever ideas but zero atmosphere and I got bored. Nowhere near the likes of Banks or Bear for the story telling (aka "creating a universe" or "padding" depending on your viewpoint!) around that basic premise.

              Must admit I'm back to reading the Greats again - Heinlein, Silverberg and the rest. Now they could tell a story...
              Blog? What blog...?

                ^^^ This. Not too keen on Silverberg, but Asimov, Heinlein, Niven, Zelazny et al.

                Then again, I'd have to excavate some of those out of the garage.
