"Thanks for all your help interpreting for me at Ronda hospital. Although some of the consultants do speak excellent English they are obviously much happier conversing in their mother tongue. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others."
Karl Smallman, Jimera de Libar, December 2009

Bell, book or Kindle?

“The book is the greatest interactive medium of all time. You can underline it, write in the margins, fold down a page, skip ahead, and you can take it anywhere.”

Michael Lynton, American businessman

He also said:  "I’m a guy who doesn’t see anything good having come from the Internet, period. [The internet has] created this notion that anyone can have whatever they want at any given time. It’s as if the stores on Madison Avenue were open 24 hours a day. They feel entitled. They say, ‘Give it to me now,’ and if you don’t give it to them for free, they’ll steal it.”

I agree about the book, and I understand what he means about the Internet, but the Internet has surely been a great invention. Dare I say, on a par with the wheel?
