Well then you must have gone through everyone from HG Wells, EE Doc Smith, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Frank Herbert, Niven, Asimov, Poul Anderson, Roger Zelazny, and too many for me to remember. ;)

I have no idea how many books I have read. I read all the time. So does my daughter and my sister. So did my father.

When I was working for Olivetti in 1975 (Assembler programming, machine language, and word processing had just been introduced), I remember someone coming over from Italy and telling us that one day 'typewriters' would talk to each other. :) And here we are.
