David, you are so on target. Something is happening to our global intellect. Having so many who can't read or who never take the time to find something to relate to in print has changed our society significantly. Some of it is definitely not good for having a critical mind. Smiles!!

Heya Paula, I still enjoy books myself, but am gradually being overrun by the subroutine, just having some fun here with my Monoku, unfortunately it’s also true lol! Have a lovely weekend too, cheers David
